Pumpkin Patch 2009

On Sunday we went to McCall's Pumpkin Patch! We go every year and every time we go they have new things to do! When we got there this time, the first thing the kids did was ride the cow train. They loved riding all around the farm and ringing the cow bells.



Then we checked out all of the animals. They have farm animals that you can look at and goats you can feed. There is even a huge "goat mountain" made out of wooden ladders and balconies for the goats to walk up and get a good view. They also have a "Bunny Town" with little bunnies and their houses.


After the animals, the kids and Daddy bounced on the "Pumpkin Pillow" - a huge orange air filled pillow you can bounce on! They also had several bounce houses, separated by age groups so the big kids couldn't stomp on the little kids.




We also climbed a hay pyramid, and watched them shoot pumpkins out of the pumpkin cannon! The cannon was a huge and used an air compressor to shoot them about half a mile! Daddy said he wanted one for Christmas!


Then we went through the corn maize, but the kids got pretty tired of that after a bit so we ended up taking a "short cut" to get back out. We actually did not go out to the actual pumpkin patch because it is too difficult for Alex to walk over all of the vines and he is too big for me to carry. Next year!

While Daddy and Aurora ordered food, Alex did his favorite part - playing in the corn pit! They have buckets, shovels, and dump trucks and the kids have a blast playing with the corn! That night I found several kernels in his diaper!


There was actually much more to do there but the kids were pretty worn out already. There's always next year! It was a great day!
