The Pumpkin Patch

The girls were SO excited when we told them the Pumpkin Patch was on the agenda for the weekend. If you don’t believe me check out this picture…

:)  We met some good friends at a different place then we’ve been the last two years, and the girls loved it!

Here they are with their friends…excited to check out all the festivities!

The day actually started out rainy but the sun was just coming out by the time we made it up there and it warmed up enough that we didn’t even need coats!  What a gorgeous day!

This pumpkin patch had some new and interesting things to do.  Of course everything costs money so we told the girls they could each pick one thing to do.

Bug chose this…

She LOVED it! So much so that she didn’t even bat an eye when her sisters got their faces painted and she didn’t. 

That’s what they chose. Boo got a pink unicorn.

Pretty fancy!

And Peanut got a pink butterfly.  I didn’t think she’d sit still after her last face painting wiggle-extravaganza, but she was actually VERY still, albeit a little worried. :)

And it turned out so cute!

We went into the play area next where they have a peabox. It’s just a sandbox, but full of dried peas instead of sand!  Peanut LOVED it! It was slippery and she slid and rolled and played all over for a good hour!

Her boots filled up with peas so we had to take them off.

She’s loves dump trucks!  Her favorite book is The Happy Man and His Dumptruck which was one of Daddy’s favorites as a child.

“Dump! Dump Dump!”

The other kids played on this huge tube slide…over and over!  They got quite a good workout!

Whee!

I was amazed at how fast they came shooting out of there!

Bug also loved the pallet maze. It was just high enough for her.

Boo came over and played with Peanut in the peas for a while.  Peanut “swam” in them for at least ten minutes. I did have to pull her out for a bit when she started shoving them in her ears. :P

Bug and H went through the maze multiple times.

We stayed for about two hours before picking our pumpkins and then heading down the hill for lunch.

Bug was on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin for Noni since she needed one for a game at her school.

They each got the one they wanted, plus Noni’s and we were on our way.

Daddy the packhorse. :)

We went to lunch with our friends and then did some shopping all afternoon.

The littles crashed on the way home.

Thanks for a wonderful day at the pumpkin patch H family!
