Pumpkin Patch

Abby had last Friday off from school so we took advantage of it by hitting up Reynolds Farm in Pennsylvania. We have been almost every year since we moved here and the kids always have a great time. The weather was a bit chilly that day but it didn't stop us from enjoying our pumpkin experience.

All three kids at the front sign (After this Nolan spent the rest of the time asleep in his Beco carrier since we went right during his nap time!)


Abby almost to the "4!"

With Landon quickly catching up!!

They loved exploring all of the different boxes full of different-sized pumpkins...

But the real fun came from the slides and playground nearby (I think Landon liked this slide although you wouldn't guess it from the look of this picture!)

Abby really liked this caterpillar slide too!

I think their favorite part in the playground was this pile of hay that they could jump in. We spent most of our playground time here...





(Don't worry, no child was hurt in any of these pictures!)

Abby really liked these tractor bikes, but alas, Landon was still a bit too short to ride them again this year!

Then it was time to go on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch to find our Halloween pumpkins. My only requirement was that each child find a pumpkin that they could carry (I had my hands full with Nolan!) This proved to be harder than I though since most of the pumpkins in the patch were HUGE!! After much searching though, we finally found some that were the perfect size!

Abby was a bit grossed out when she accidentally stuck her gloved hand into a rotting pumpkin. She wasn't such a huge fan of the pumpkin guts!!


Another successful visit to the pumpkin patch!!

That would be nasty to stick your hand in a rotten pumpkin. I don't blame her disgruntled face.
