Pumpkin Pickin'

Here it is October all ready and we nearing closer to Halloween. Brad and I have had pretty crazy schedules. We were finally able to pick a weekend that we could get out and get some pumpkins.

The boys were of course very excited. They have been seeing the pumpkins at the grocery store and wanting to get some. We usually go to the Original Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie's Island, but this year we decided to stay a little closer to home and try the Fir Point Farms in Aurora (where I used to live as a kid). It turned out to be a gorgeous day and we could not have asked for better weather. We packed up the boys, the Radio Flyer wagon, some boots and towels and headed off.

Here are the boys picking out their pumpkins.

They kept picking up multiple ones, then throwing them down when they saw a better one. But eventually the decision was made.

Once we had the "chosen ones," it was time for the boys to play and explore. They had all kinds of play areas for kids. We bought some tickets and off we went. Brayden decided to do the hay maze first. Brock did not want to go in it.

Here is Brayden working his way through.

After the maze, Brad and Brayden did the Giant Hay Slide. This sucker was BIG and they got some speed going down it.

Brayden also did the Jump House, again Brock did not want to go in. Brock was just perfectly happy watching all that was going on and the Tractor that would come by every 5 minutes or so.

Here is Brayden in the "Nut House"

Brock did decide to go in the "Noah's Ark" boat. He climbed through with Brad and Brayden. Then he found the slide at the end which he did multiple times. Brad went down once with him and landed on his butt in the dirt. It was pretty funny.

With our last few tickets the boys got some animal juices which they were pretty proud of :)

The last thing we did was stop to feed some goats. Brayden found one way up high.

As you can see it was a fun-filled time and the boys were glad to get their pumpkins. It is always great to see their little faces light up with joy and excitement.
