Pumpkins and Mazes

Mommy and Daddy took me to this really cool place. There were lots of pumpkins and a path that had really tall plants growing around it and trucks!


Look out how big this truck is!!!!



We rode a tractor around a bunch of pumpkins. I love tractors, but I wasn't sure what to think about riding on one.


Then we went on the path surrounded by lots of tall plants. Mommy and Daddy called it a corn maze. I started out on Daddy's shoulders. Apparently it's really easy to get lost because the corn is so tall. It made me a little nervous.




Then I got the hang of it. Basically you just need to run everywhere and you'll never get lost.



Mommy and Daddy are slow pokes. They had a hard time keeping up.



There was a really cool tunnel in the middle of the maze. Daddy went through it with me the first time. The second time I tried to hang out in the middle by myself, but these other kids kept trying to get in too. So I finally had to just leave.



After the maze we ate some food--yummy French fries, something sweet called a Funnel Cake, and strawberry lemonade. Then we went to pick out a pumpkin in a field that had millions of them everywhere!




I tried to pick one up, but it was just way too heavy. Next year I'm sure I'll be stronger.



We picked out one for me, and one for Cooper.


Here was one of the best parts of our trip:



I can't wait to do this again next year!

The first Halloween that Amy was gone, we bought Amy a white pumpkin and called it a "ghost" pumpkin. When were were at the pumpkin patch this past weekend they asked if were going to buy her another one. We didn't. We didn't even buy one for Lily this year. Too much work to carve them!
