Pumpkin Patch

Just a few minutes away from us there is the BEST pumpkin patch. It's called Cool Patch Pumpkins and they also have a World Record Corn Maze. We went a couple years ago when I was pregnant with Max, remember THIS picture? We decided to take the boys this year too. We loved it!
It started with tractors. I love this picture because Max is so in love with tractors, cars, trucks, etc. that he doesn't know where to start. It has been very hard to capture a picture pf Max holding still lately. Erik did a great job here, he's still AND smiling!
After checking out the pumpkin displays we grabbed a wagon and went to hunt for a pumpkin to take home.

Our hunt was cut short because we ran into a big fat corn bath. It was SO fun! We all jumped and played and dug and ran and buried. Even Alex got a relaxing little nap out of it.













So focused.





Max thought it was great to cover Mama with the corn.


Then he kissed me to make it better. If you click on the picture you can see how Max kisses. He sticks his tongue out and smacks it to make the kissing noise. You are left with a blob of spit. Poor Alex is always covered with it.








The best picture ever. He probably jumped off the side 20 times.



The two "big boys" climbed a hay tower while I talked with a nice lady and fed Alex..




Max had his own pumpkin picked out at this point and was ready to go. It was getting warm.




One last stop on the wooden horses.




Then he was ready...see his pumpkin? It's perfect. It has a nice long stem and is light enough for him to carry...but too small to carve. ( I think carving is fun, but am glad we have another year before he wants to do it himself). See Alex taking a ride (striped pants) too?




One last stop to see if he could fit on the tricycles. Nope, maybe next year.




We really had a great day and will definitely go every year. The corn bath was the best and are still finding corn all over the house. Totally worth it.
