We went to the same patch as last year but this time I'd say it was almost double as crowded. We had the sun peaking out of the clouds and a crisp air about. People were everywhere and both kids were just trying to take in all in.
Once Ken & MarGene arrived we headed over to the petting zoo to check out the cute little animals. Megan loved the little baby goats and visited them a few times. They had some feed vending machines so you could buy some food. Megan of course went with Grandma VoFo to feed the little goats. Andrew went with Jeff to feed the little pigs but got scared and would dump the feed on the ground before the poor pig got to eat. That was when Jeff had to take over so the little guys could get some food. Both kids LOVED the little kittens. Those poor kittens were so scared I think both kids felt the claws but didn't care cuz they were just too cute.
Next we headed off to the ever so popular corn maze. It is fun to find the clues and solve the puzzle. This year the map showed the maze shaped as a farmer and tractor. It was a bit confusing to figure out the map and where you were but somehow we didn't get too lost. You had a list of questions and would find check points to answer your questions. I think MarGene said we got all but 3 answers.
We then ended our pumpkin patch time with a little corn rockets. Andrew was super excited for this and was nice and patient for his turn. We had something like 10 tries and most all rotated through for their chance to hit a bucket out in the field. No one made it but Jeff came so close once.
We left the patch and headed for a little McD's lunch. It was fun to get out and spend an afternoon out with family. I really enjoyed our time and can't wait to carve up some pumpkins. I know both kids can't wait as they've been asking for it ever since. Hopefully we'll get around to it this weekend. I truly love family fun like this.
