A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we took the kids out to Connors Farm for a day at the pumpkin patch. The weather was warm and the skies were blue--perfect day for a few hours in the country! Connors Farm has a huge corn maze this year, but we decided to bypass the maze this trip for some of the other activities. If the weather holds out, hopefully we'll make it out before the end of the month for a walk through the maze.

For this trip the kids were content to run through the hay bale maze. Both kids had a blast and would have happily stayed to climb on the hay all day long.

Here's Daddy and the kids walking around the pond to the pumpkin patch.

This was the most picturesque farm we've visited--I guess we were saving the best for last!

Here's a shot of the pumpkin patch, complete with scary scarecrow man. There were still lots and lots to choose from and we had a good time picking out our pumpkins. It seemed like as soon as we saw one we liked and started carrying it around, there was another one just a little bit better! We did hold ourselves to three small pumpkins though! The prospect of walking around the lake carrying more than that, plus the kids wasn't too appealing!

It looks like Max had his eyes on greener pastures! He just wanted to run the whole day long. Sitting still for a picture is SO overrated!

Pokin' around the patch.

After we bought our pumpkins we got some fresh apple cider donuts and hot cider and ate them down by the pond. It was a perfect end to our trip!

Tomorrow we'll be heading up to New Hampshire for a little getaway with Anne and Ken Schmidt! We're so excited and plan to take lots of pictures! Hope you have a great weekend wherever you are!
