Picking Pumpkins at the Farm

This Saturday we all went out to a local farm for the afternoon with our friends. The kids had a blast. This was Grace's first trip to the farm. It was obvious to us that this farm is doing well... they had a nice, new "admission" building and line (as opposed to walking into the general store to pay), and a few new playground additions. Not to mention, in four hours, I think we plopped down about $78 total. Yikes!

The kids got to pet some animals, bounce on the flat "moonbounce" pillow, climb on some old tractor tires, wander through a few mazes, slide down some shoots, swing on the rope swings, eat kettlecorn, and of course, ride on the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins! We only chose two this time (it's more expensive than the local grocery store!) but the experience was great.


For those of you that know Tommy, this is monumental... he's terrified of moonbounces!!
