Saturday Leah & Andrew & I took a fun fall adventure to a Corn Maze/ Pumpkin Patch. Upon first glance, I thought the place wouldn’t be much fun. There wasn’t as much to do as I’d thought, but we made the most of it, and I think overall they had a great time!
They had some hay bales to climb on and play around on.
They had a small playground. Leah enjoyed the swings. Andrew enjoyed playing with the small gourds & pumpkins on the checkers board.
We got to ride the hayride twice. (Although there wasn’t any hay, so it was more like a tractor ride.) They both said this was their favorite part.
I wasn’t planning on actually doing the corn maze (what with being 9 months pregnant and all, and having a terrible sense of direction), but they both said they wanted to try it. They started out very gung-ho, but got pretty tired about 5-10 minutes in. I don’t think they knew what they had gotten themselves into. I could see the main area the whole time, though, and we ended up cheating at the end. :)
Then we got to pick out our pumpkin!
And later we came home and carved them into jack-o-lanterns. Miss Priss refused to touch any of it with her hands. Andrew just wanted to pick up the pumpkin and play with it. He enjoyed taking out the seeds, saying “This is disgusting!” the whole time. Brett and I ended up doing most of the work, although they designed the shapes of the faces.
The finished product. Andrew just wanted to play with his. I need to get him a pretend one that he can toss around like a ball.
And now a happier face…
And we can officially say Fall is here!
