At the Pumpkin Patch Today

Today I took Rachael and Nicholas (my nephew) to the Pumpkin Patch. It was the perfect day for it. It was a little bit cold in the morning, but it didn't rain! We spent three and a half hours here having fun. The picture above is the two of them climbing back down from the Hay Pyramid. I think this was Rachael's favorite activity today because every time we walked by it, she had to climb up. Nicholas climbed up and then back down and was pretty much finished.
The Toy Tractors were a new event this year at this particular Pumpkin Patch and this was Nicholas' favorite activity. It was a little hard for him to pedal on the gravel, but with mine and Rachael's help he did pretty good. I had a hard time convincing him to see something else.
They both enjoyed the petting zoo. There were chickens, goats, turkeys, sheep, rabbits, a donkey, baby calves, geese and ducks.
After the Petting Zoo we went on a Tractor Ride to the Pumpkin Patch. Nicholas told me that he wants a tractor for his birthday when he gets bigger. It was so cute. The tractor dropped us off and Rachael grabbed a wheel barrow for us to collect our pumpkins in. We had to search long and hard to find good pumpkins, but we found some finally.
Nicholas wanted to ride a pony. He had so much fun on it. Rachael didn't want to ride one though, she thought she was too big to ride one. The sign said up to 80 pounds, but she didn't want to. After the pony ride we went into the Corn Maze. We wandered around for a while and finally followed some people to one of the exits. We didn't make it all the way through, but we gave it a try.
There was a Pumpkin Launch that we tried. Each person gets two tries. On my second try I made it into one of the buckets and won a prize. This was a total luck shot! I got to chose a Scare Crow decoration.
