Pumpkin Patch



William is SO EXCITED for Halloween this year. He made us get out his batman costume in September. He was thrilled to decorate our house. He says it's "so spooky" and "some people might not want to come over because it's too scary." For about a week he asked us every night if it would still be October in the morning and if the Halloween decorations would still be up. He's also been excited to pick out our pumpkins! Every time we pass a corn field he asks if that's where we got our pumpkins last year. He even remembered what we carved on our pumpkin last year! He's been really looking forward to visiting the same pumpkin patch we went to last year.

So, we made his day by taking him to the pumpkin patch last weekend. The boys loved every minute of it and didn't want to leave. Henry loved the slides. They were pretty fast, but he wanted to do them over and over again. William and Henry loved the animal train. They rode it about 4 to 5 times. William really loved the corn bin, too.

The petting zoo was really cute. They had bunnies, piglets, really young calves (who were so sweet), and goats. I have not had good luck recently with petting zoos. The goats were fairly aggressive and kept jumping up on me to see what I had that they could eat!

They also had these cannons that shoot corn at targets that were pretty fun.


After we were done playing, we got on the hayride and got to pick out some pumpkins. So fun! I'm glad this tradition has become such a fun memory for the boys.

 We carved our pumpkins a few days later. We decided to do the Batman symbol and then William and Henry had to have the same thing on their pumpkins too.

I love pumpkin patches! Last year ours had fun things but when we went this year it didn't. I'm not sure if they only do big extra things on weekends or what, but I was kinda disappointed. Cute shirt, by the way too.:) And what is it about animals at petting zoos jumping on you & attacking you? lol
