Visiting the Pumpkin Patch

We had another beautiful fall day on Saturday(yesterday), so we decided to go and visit the pumpkin patch. It was a lot of fun. In addition to the pumpkin stuff, they had a regular farm with animals and exhibits where you could practice milking a cow or learn about corn. They had a cool corn exhibit with a "corn pit", I guess you would call it like a ball pit where the kids get in and play in the corn. The corn mazes were fun as well.
Our day at Honeysuckle Hill Farm

The kids on the porch swing--we didn't realize someone actually lived there. Oops! It was in middle of the public farm area. Oh well...at least we came back with a good picture. :)

Our sweet little Tessa


Alex and Eric by the corn pit. There just weren't any kids Alex's age jumping in there. Poor Alex!
Tessa and Jarem in the "corn pit". Jarem especially loved it. Tessa tried to make corn angels and Jarem just played. Jesikah tried it out as well.

This is Jesikah in the corn maze. She was the one who wanted to do the corn mazes most of all without the map.
Tessa, Jarem, and Jesikah peeking out the window of the little cabin. This is one of my favorite pictures of the day. They had kid-sized furniture and all.

Jarem was having a hard time keeping his pants up all day, and we could not resist taking a picture of this cute pose next to the kid-sized cabin. It was not staged! :)


The horses were a big hit! Everyone had fun petting them, especially Tessa

The girls picture posed and taken by Eric.


The big slide was also a big hit. Even Eric had fun going down, and the kids each had a few turns.

The view from the top of the slide into the slide. Jesikah and Jarem headed down.

Alex is resting on the fence with a "can we get this overwith" look.


Jarem had fun milking the cow. Both he and Tessa spent a long time doing that. They probably had to refill the tank when we were done!


Jarem too tired to walk anymore. Alex willingly offers to give him a ride.

On the tractor trailer leading to the pumpkin patch.
Before leaving, we get one final picture.
