A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we took a trip to the pumpkin patch! I had never been to one before and I have to say it was a much more fun time than running over to the grocery store and picking up a couple pumpkins out of the cardboard box out front! We found out that the best one in town was just down the street from us. Uesugi Farms had a ton of pumpkins and a ton of really fun stuff to do. Kaylee thought it was so awesome and has not stopped talking about it since!

Welcome to the pumpkin patch!

Kaylee loved to ride around in the wheel barrow- it was a ride of it's own!

There was a huge pyramid of pumpkins that was very cool. It was huge!

They had a cute little corn maze just for kids. Kaylee loved walking through the stalks! The maze had signs every few yards that when you pushed a button on the side told the story of two blue pumpkins. It was a really cute little story and Kaylee really enjoyed herself. They even had blue pumpkins for sale at the patch which Kaylee loved!



Kaylee was overjoyed that they had her favorite ride the merry-go-round. They lots of fun things for kids including the carousel,a train ride, and great corn on the cob!

Kaylee rode her first little horse at the pumpkin patch. She wasn't quite so sure about it when she first got on but when we were discussing her upcoming birthday the next day she informed her dad that she wanted a pony for her birthday so I guess she had a good time. Good luck with that Dan!!!

Can't resist those Kodak moments! Our girls are growing up so fast!


Later that night we headed home for a pumpkin carving party. We are not very talented pumpkin craftsmen but a good time was had by all! Kaylee thought it was wonderful. She was taken off guard when she first put her hand in and felt the gooey insides of the pumpkin but it did not take her long to dig right in and get her hands dirty.


The first video is of Kaylee when she is not quite so sure about the gross gooey pumpkin insides, but then by the second video she can't keep her hands out of it- to the point of making a mess of it all over the kitchen table!

Our final products. Happy Halloween!
