We're in the midst of a not-so-great weather pattern here right now (read: we might as well move to Seattle, because I haven't seen the sun in over a week) and we're also in the middle of transitioning Macey to one nap. Combine these factors and you have the recipe for a less than ideal afternoon road trip, but we decided to brave it anyway and head to a pumpkin patch about 45 minutes from home. There are closer patches, of course, but this one had all of the bells and whistles in the form of hay rides, train rides, a corn pit, farm animals, pig races, and one giant tube slide that was undeniably the biggest hit of the day. Despite my initial misgivings, our pumpkin patch afternoon turned out to be a blast. (Also? Cool, overcast days make for smaller crowds, which was a huge plus. I made sure to make note of that for future reference.)
We fed goats...
...and ducks. Macey kept squealing with excitement about the "duhs!"
The aforementioned tube (pipe?) slide:
We all braved it, including Macey & Daddy.
Camden insisted he go solo, which surprised me. He couldn't get enough of this thing.
My butt is still sore, but I have to admit- it was pretty darn fun.
Time for a train ride. My parents and nephew came along to the patch with us.
The corn pit was a huge hit with Macey. I had to keep her paci in the entire time she was in there, though, to prevent her from taste-testing.
Everyone enjoyed the corn pit; it was quite comfy in there!
Pumpkin selections are made, thus ending our successful trip.
