Pumpkin Patch

The 2 weeks before Halloween, we went to 2 different pumpkin patches. The first one the kids and I went with our neighbor Khristy and her little girl Brooke. We went to EZ Orchards, just a few miles away from our place. It doesn't have much to do on the week days, but it was free and the little that it did have entertained the kids.
Having fun petting the animals

Love this pic - "ugh, just can't get this thing goin'..." Collecting pumpkins

The second one we went to was Wooden Shoe Tulip farms, which did a pumpkin patch this year for the first time. We went to this one as a family and Stacy and Ashlynne went with us. And while this one cost a little bit, they had a lot more fun stuff for the kids. They had these boxes with seeds and wheat - the kids LOVED it and could have played in it all day if we had let them!


Isaiah didn't like this slide too well...


This was Isaiah's favorite - the train, but boy was it bumpy and dusty! We were all more than ready to get off, and he was ready to just keep going on it.
The kids got to plant a tulip bulb in a cup and then take it home to plant.

He didn't like the swing to well either

Not sure how I missed this blog about the Pumpkin Patch, as I just now read it for the first time (Nov. 24th). Love the pics, they're all so good of the kids and it looked like they were having a good time.
