Pumpkin Patch

We finally made it out to Oakes Farm Saturday for Gavin to experience his first Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze!

We of course had some bad attitude when he spotted the tractor and I made him pose for a picture. Goodness gracious.

He loved these kid-size tractors:

And of course LOVED the hayride behind a real tractor!! He couldn't take his eyes off of it!




Off to "pick" our pumpkins
Gavin had to examine them very closely before picking the perfect one:

Notice how Henley enjoyed picking the pumpkins (in the carrier fast asleep)

There were lots of fun tractors for Gavin to admire...
...and sit on!
This is pure joy on this boy's face!

There was a fun kids' play area with a lot of things to do, like...
Pedal Cars:

a huge slide,
a bouncy thing,
(which I had to try too!)
a kid's Corn Maze,

and a huge sand pit with Gavin's favorite thing in the world: DUMP TRUCKS!!

All Gavin wanted to do once he saw the dump trucks was play in the sand!


And when we forced him to do other things besides play with the trucks, he was not a happy boy:

Henley slept the whole time we were there!
I guess I would too if I were all snuggled up next to my Mom!


And I got to enjoy some FRIED OREOS while watching the boys play. If you ever see these on any menu, I highly recommend them!! It's like funnel cake on the outside and melted oreo on the inside. Wow. I may need to learn how to make these.

It was such a fun family day!
