Pumpkin Patch 2011

It's that time of year again....time for a trip to Jubilee Farms Pumpkin Patch.  Now, there are several great pumpkin patches in the area, but this is the one we have gone to every year since we moved up here, so we hate to break tradition!
Saturday was chilly, but not rainy, and that is key!  A pumpkin patch in the rain and cold is not so much fun, not to mention the mud!  So, on Saturday we headed over and took part in the tractor hayride to the patch, the selecting of the pumpkins, the hay maze, feeding the pigs, and a second trip to the patch when we saw our chance to take the horse-drawn hay ride.  We always aim to get on that one, but it holds so few people compared to the larger ones pulled by the tractors, plus all the kids around want the horse-drawn ride, which makes it difficult to catch. 

We had great fun, and since we didn't have a nap to work around (Reagan takes them when we are around, but they aren't an absolute requirement these days), we decided to go after lunch rather than before, which was a nice change.  We were there late enough to head straight to an early dinner afterward.  Followed by an early bath, and an early bedtime:-)

The kids got very excited about the goards. Reagan wanted the perfect small pumpkin, but small ones were hard to come by...they were all big!

I see you.  The boys played hide and seek in the hay maze.  They could have played in the maze a looonng time, they were having so much fun!
