My punkin's at the Pumpkin Patch

We got to go with some friends this past weekend to the pumpkin patch. We had never been to this particular one before, but I was so glad we went because it was great. The kids got to do lots of farm activities, like ride the cow train, play in the the kernels of corn, see the farm animals, watch pig races and go on a hayride. We didn't have time to do the hour long corn maze, even though Paxton really wanted to, mommy and daddy weren't up to chasing two small children through a LONG maze! The pig races were really funny and Paxton loved watching them go round and round, Lorelei wasn't as sure about it all.

After the farm fun, we went out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins. It took us awhile to find some good ones. You know, we have to get perfect round ones with no flat or bad spots on them. We found two big ones. We always get one for Josh and Paxton to carve a pumpkin face on (Paxton picks out what shape the eyes, nose, mouth, etc will be) and one pumpkin to carve a more elaborate carving on. We usually get the kids two small pumpkins to have at home but Paxton wanted a medium size one. So he got medium and Lorelei got a tiny one to have.

Josh and Paxton worked on the first pumpkin yesterday and since he had today off, Josh has worked tirelessly on our awesome and cool Pirate ship pumpkin. It looks great and Paxton is so excited to light candles in them tonight. We had a great time and it was actually cooler here this weekend so it felt like fall at the pumpkin patch. Here are pictures, enjoy!

The cow train was quite a bumpy ride, I was the lucky one that got to ride it with Lorelei.

Lorelei and her friend Belle- they looked so cute in their matching sweaters!
