Pumpkin Patch

Now you know it's Autumn when you hit the pumpkin patches.

Saturday, since everyone else was deer hunting all weekend, Olivia and I spent the morning at Waldvogel's farm. It was our first time going there for all the activities and we both had a really good time.

They had goats to pet and feed, a miniature golf course, a big underground slide, bike race tracks for big "kids" and little kids, a duck race, pumpkin launch and all kinds of other little Halloween decorations and games.



They also had a haunted mine and granary but Olivia was afraid of those and said when she "gets bigger she will be bwaver" and will try those then. She said she was "weewe bwave" to go down the big underground slide.

She was a little intimidated by the huge corn maze they have and didn't want to do that because she told me "people get lost in there".

But they did have a train ride and she always loves the train rides. This one was really nice and pretty long. They went around the corn field, through a tunnel and all along the way had scary costumes and scenes set up. She was also very "bwave" going past all those scary things.




She had a great time racing the little plastic ducks once she got the hang of pumping the water. She was excited to be able to keep the ducks and put them in her bath at home.

We wrapped up our experience with a hayride out to the huge pumpkin field. She found a nice little pumpkin, I grabbed a medium one and we finally headed out early in the afternoon. We had lunch at McDonald's and I had all I could do to keep her awake on the way home before she got to her own bed to take a big nap.

We had a lot of fun and it was a good way to burn off her energy.
