It was a good time for all and now all we have left is the carving.
Before we headed out to get our pumpkins the kids spent some time playing around.
and climbing on top of fire trucks
and running around
the annual pumpkin measurement chart.
Some lazy pigs when they are not racin for their oreo's
going through the mazes. First the hay bale maze
milking a fake cow. Addie was less them impressed with the process. She wanted to wash her hands right away!
Lucas thought it was a bit cooler to try and milk the cow. Watch out Grandma Jan this one could be on the wish list.
back to running around fun and sliding.
another maze
Addie needed some big brother help to get around and get out
Addie not wanting anymore big brother help getting around and out
taking a break checking out the hay
going through the hay barn with dad. The biggest pumpkin patch enemy to mom, hay!
Once we made it out the patch the kids loved it. It took a while to find some great pumpkins and all of a sudden Addie started kicking them. She would find one she liked and would kick it as some sort of final test.
Lucas thought it was funny so he gave it a try and what do you know, the first one he tried his foot went right though. The entire side of it was rotten. Yep, that is pumpkin yuck on his shoe.
We took a little time for a science lesson. A lesson on how pumpkins grow and what they look like during the various stages. Addie is sure they are gross and wanted nothing to do with it. Lucas, well it went over better with him. He actually had questions that you could almost hear over Addie professing how ugly they looked.
Getting a little help from Dad.
Obsessed, absolutely obsessed over finding the cutie st little pumpkins she could find. I think she ended up with four in total.
This is how Lucas spent much of his time. running around looking for the perfect biggest pumpkin he could find. In the end he left very happy.
The loot
See all those little pumpkins in there. That is the proud owner!! Lucas pumpkin is the one standing up nice and tall.
