KC Pumpkin Patch-Year 2

We made a return trip to the KC Pumpkin Patch in Gardner this year and the weather was just perfect for picking pumpkins. This year we brought Grandpa T with us too. They added a few new activities this year and we did some of the oldies but goodies from last time. Here is Chris on the barrel train and the Wizard of Oz train...

Of course, there were many areas for Chris to dig in and he even remembered the corn kernel sandbox from last year! Here his is with some John Deere trucks digging away...

Ever since Olivia's birthday party, Christopher has been loving every opportunity he gets to ride a horse. Here are some different kinds of horses he got to go on. He even took Daddy for a ride too!

One of Christopher's favorite activities this year was the bouncy bubble. It's kind of like a bouncy house, minus the house. They separated the big kids from the little kids (good thing!) so here is a video of Chris bouncing away!


After a bunch of playing, we all took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch where Chris picked out his favorite pumpkin. Of course, he wanted to get the first pumpkin he saw but we gave him a lesson in being more selective. Here he is on the hayride eating kettle corn to fuel up for the big pumpkin search...
We had a lovely day at the pumpkin patch today! We also brought along another friend (named Flat Stanley) but Julia will have to wait for the pictures that we took of her until we send her back to New Jersey. Stanley wanted to bring home a 10 pound pumpkin until we told her she had to carry it herself!
