Today we went on our second annual fall trip to the pumpkin patch with the Rutherford family. We went to Spooner Farms, the same place as last year. I have to say this has turned into one of my favorite family traditions.
I call this the "Halloween Christmas tree:"
You would think they would let the kids go inside the giant pumpkin, but no...
It was VERY muddy thanks to this week's insane rain. On a whim we stopped on the way to the farm at Target for two pairs of kids' boots. (They had both outgrown lat year's.) WOW--- I don't think I've ever been more glad about a purchase. Monica, Jack, and Hayden spent more time splashing and squishing in the mud than they did with the farm activities.
They had this weird Narnia theme going on:
Monica and Jack REALLY wanted to ride the ponies. This was our big splurge of the day, and luckily neither of them freaked out after mounting. Jack bounced around quite a bit and spent the rest of the day telling us "the horse was bumpy!"
More mud:
Lots of animals to see:
The fake horses aren't nearly as exciting:
But the duck races are still cool:
The fake horses aren't nearly as exciting:
"You mean we're all done playing in the mud?"
Aftermath... pumpkins and muddy boots outside our door:
