One Saturday this month, rather than be productive around the house, we opted to take a trip to a farm featuring a corn maze and a pumpkin patch. It was a lot of fun. The weather was perfect for romping through a maze. We went with some friends, which made it even more fun for the girls. While at the farm, we enjoyed a corn maze, a pumpkin patch, feeding goats, and a hayride. It was a really fun, much needed little day trip. We may not have been as productive as we should have been, but we made some good memories, which is equally, if not more important when you have a super busy daddy.
Here is Chris modeling the baby sling I made for him to carry Kate around in.
Kate in the pumpkins. She enjoyed crawling all over them.
We came, we saw, we conquered the corn maze. It was a rather large maze which featured a scavenger hunt highlighting key sights from the city. (Pictured are Chris, Morgan, Rachael, and Dave, Abby and Jeana Simpson.)
At the farm, there was a big metal tub filled with dried corn for wee ones to play in instead of sand. We thought Kate might like it. She couldn't stand it, as you can tell by the expression on her face, and lasted about 10 seconds before she very clearly indicated that she wanted to GET OUT. FAST.
So, who hasn't wanted to throw an egg just to watch it splatter at some point in their life? This was a fun idea that had quite the line. You buy a pack of four eggs and then throw them at this ghost. Rachael said, "You mean I can
throw the egg?!" The mom in me kept thinking how wasteful this was, while the child within kept thinking how fun it would be to grab an egg and throw it myself. The girls loved it. We had to do it twice. (Pictured are Morgan, Rachael, Jeana and Abby.)
Last, but not least, a little family picture with some pumpkins. I really liked this shot. Aside from Kate looking off to the right, the rest of us actually have halfway decent smiles. In fact, we almost used it for our Christmas card this year. The only problem was that Farmer Bob and Son were in the background with the hayride truck. Dang!
