Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch near Tucson with some friends. It was a beautiful day, with weather in the low 80's. We also decided to give the corn maze a go. The tour guide who was giving us the information, prior to going in, said we could chose the easy or difficult course. The difficult taking about 1 hour and a half!!
So we went with the easy side. :) We walked around for about 20 minutes, thinking we were headed in the right direction, but soon realized that we were about 5 feet from the entrance. So quickly assessing the kids moods, we guided them back toward the ENTRANCE and clapped as we said "Great job guys! You found the EXIT" The kiddos were very proud, and we were glad that we weren't stuck in the middle of the maze for a couple hours. Kyle calculating our next step. He found this ear of corn on the ground, and started carrying it around. The place also had some cute little things for the kiddos to do, including this huge horse trough filled with corn kernals, and towers of hay bales for them to climb on. Here is Lacey (Kyra's buddy), Kyra and KyleThe kids loved the pumpkin patch. We took a short hayride out to the patch, and they actually had a fantastic selection of pumpkins. Kyle was of the opinion this is the one he wanted. Kyra chose one just her size!
It was such a fun morning, with friends and family!

You know I should really go to one of these places with my kiddos.
I just don't want to go by myself cause I've never been to anything like this before, so waiting around for Dru is what's stopping me.
I dunno if our family will ever go.

Too cute. Don't you just love Fall? We didn't make it to a pumpkin patch this year but we did make a special trip to Macey's where the kids picked out a pumpkin and a doughnut! Not quite the same but the kids were satisfied!
