Applejack Pumpkin Patch!
It was a good find, there was a ton of stuff for little kids to do. First off, Abby and Jayden had some water races with ducks.
Next up was the train ride. It was a little windy here at the farm, check out Abby’s hair, it’s not because the tractor train was going so fast.
Then Jayden and Martha hit the swings, while Abby raced a tricycle around the racing track. The girl was ferocious, rubbing tires with other trikes practically knocking other kids over, she ran her trike off the track in order to pass someone, and she practically was sliding around the corners.
Next we headed over to the big slide, Jayden was pumped! He went down once with Royal, than after that, went down all by himself, which was a pretty big deal as he is usually pretty cautious.
After checking out the animals - pigs, goats, llamas, rabbits - we headed over to the corn maze.
This is what Jayden thought of the corn maze.
Sadly, this is what Martha thought of the corn maze and all my picture taking.
Then finally, we hopped on the tractor pulled wagon that took us over to the pumpkin patch to find our perfect pumpkins! Jayden found one for himself and his little sister.
The pumpkin patch was a lot of fun, we even kept up the tradition of having a hot dog at the farm. The kids had a blast, and the pumpkins were in good shape. Another successful holiday adventure.
Sweet photos man!! I ran into Heidi at Urraco, we were on our laptops, and she’s giggling and says “have you seen Rachel’s latest blog entry. . . ” So you were the topic of conversation at the coffee shop - just so you know!
Kansas has a hill?
Just kidding.
Miss you!
What a fun day! I’m sorry little Martha had such an adverse feeling about the day and pictures…(just cracked me up).
I was actually expecting to read about an added fishing adventure when I say the pond in the background of the first shot. HA!
AND…I love the nursery, Rachel! So cute and creative. Can’t wait till you can lay that sweet little girl in the crib and rock her in the glider.
Continued prayers…..(and love of course)
I keep thinking I need to carve a pumpkin but arizona and 95+ heat just doesn’t go together with pumpkin carving and the traditional chicken and chantrel mushroom stew…..I packed chantrelles and we’ll have stew when we get to kansas…..that little girl can be born to the smell of autumn harvest stew…..:
am glad you are keeping family traditions alive and well!!!! royal you mentioned the hotdog….wasn’t there kettle corn? perhaps there isn’t kettle corn in kansas? might it be a good business venture?
keep taking it EASY rachel…..keep that little kid in the oven till i get there….gonna sing her “welcome to the family”…..can’t wait to see you……i’m getting really excited to see that blonde little boy, your great beautiful belly and beautiful green eyes and your handsome hunk of a husband…..can’t wait, can’t wait….soon soon soon….
