Pumpkin Patch

Daddy took a day off today to go to the pumpkin patch! This year was different than last year in that it was more crowded and our kids were less scared. It was also visibly different:

They were more interested in the activities that Waterman's had to offer: Bouncy houses, bike "tractors", haystacks to climb on, going inside a big "pumpkin" (below).

They were excited to see and feed the animals.

I'm not sure about the toupe this duck is wearing...

They were also interested (and not scared of) the pumpkin-eating dinosaur!

We took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch where we searched and searched...

...to find the perfect pumpkins.

After a long morning of pumpkin-fun, we refueled at Edward's drive in with some good ol' fashioned burgers and shakes - and some tunes from the juke box.
