Pumpkin patch take 1

Back by popular demand... the Andelin family Pumpkin patch!!!  We love this pumpkin patch... so much so that for the month of October we are there almost daily.  For real.  Just when you think they've gone and done it all... they outdo themselves again.  This year, accompanied by the normal corn shed, hay maze, art barn, and animals galore, they added a corn maze and this fun vegetable garden with plastic veggies buried in foam.  They have mini wheel barrows and the kids get to pick the produce and wheel it around.  It has been a favorite for both my children this year.  Also new to this season is a race track with some bikes and trikes... I can't keep Kolton off of them.  I overheard a customer saying to a friend, "I didn't know this cost money" (duh!) "I also didn't know how nice it was!" Amen sister woman, amen!  It is, indeed, nice!!  Everything is clean, family run, there are pumpkins galore, story time, face painting, puppet shows, and so much more.  We can seriously get lost here.  It's funny how different this year is for us than last.  Last year Kolton mainly slept in his car seat and nursed in the barn. This year... well, this year is history!  He climbs up the tractor (sometimes falling off but without complaint), runs from place to place, feeds the goats, takes every lid off of every marker ten times while I trail behind him replacing them, and mimics the noises the animals make.  Xiana, well, Xiana most disappears.  Occasionally I see her pop her head out from where ever she is, but this is pretty much a little wonderland for her.  I'll be surprised if she grows up without her pumpkin patch memories in tact.






Oh yeah... they also have sling shots into pumpkin mouths....

dress up barn...
rider cars....




a spider web....
and bean bag toss.  Seriously, will it ever stop?!  I think not!
