We just couldn't pass up the nice fall day we were having the other day & seeing the forecast looking so gloomy, we decided to take a trip just outside of town to the Pumpkin Farm. My friend Brooke had the spur of the moment idea and I decided to jump on the opportunity as well. (I saw her car out there, but never ran into her :( ) Oh well. We both had fun separately. :)
There seemed to be a lot more to do out there this year and we could have spent longer out there, but they were getting ready to close. Maybe we will have to take another trip out there before the season is over.
We started out by going to pick our own pumpkins straight outta the field and off the vine! Chad started finding a few that looked nice on one side, but when he flipped them over they were kinda rotton or smashed. But as he found them, he said a couple of times, "this looks like a good one." From then on, Bradyn was walking through the field shouting, "This is a good one!" "This a good one." "Is this a good one?" Too funny! Bradyn found a cute little green one that he maneuvered off the vine and kept carrying it around with him. Looking back at it, I should have let him get it.. but I was thinking..what are we gonna do with a little green pumpkin?
After we picked out our pumpkins we went over to enjoy the play area. They had a big "sand box" full of corn and beans. There was a bunch of little scarecrows that you could play dressup with as well. He also had fun climbing on the big stack of hay and petting the animals too.
Soooo, I convinced him to put that green pumpkin back and to get a little orange one that we would color with markers when we got home. He liked that idea and the little orange pumpkin face has become his friend. He wanted to sleep with it the first night, but settled for having it sit on his dresser instead. He carries it around the house with him sometimes and sometimes it watches him play with his choo choo train. Now I'm not feeling too bad about making him put back the green one. hehe.
