Our trip to the pumpkin patch this year was scheduled for us through Avery's preschool. We went to Bauman Farms and the kids had a great time. First we all went on a hay ride in 2 large covered carts pulled by a tractor to the pumpkin patch. Each child got a bag for 1 pumpkin, 2 gourds, and 1 ear of maize.
Emmett found a tiny green pumpkin
Avery and his loot
After riding back to the farm buildings, the kids got to see how apple cider is made and try some.
Then they got to meet lots of animals. Avery fed the goats.
Carson, miraculously, actually pet one! I only just managed to capture this proof as the goat turned to look at Carson more closely and Carson instantly pulled away.
I liked this llama's shaggy 'do.
Some of Avery's preschool class. Yes, he is a head taller than most of them.
On to the hay maze! Kathy, in the black coat, apparently having been the mom with the stroller last year, was a great help to me with my stroller and excess of children (comparatively). While I stayed with Carson and Emmett, she took Avery through the maze twice.
At the end of the maze there's a large tube slide.
Kathy and her daughter Andrea trained it with Avery down the slide both times.
And, lastly, snack time! Yes, Emmett's hands have caked on mud and, yes, I'm letting him feed himself goldfish. That's better than listening to him scream for his independence and I conveniently left the wipes in the van.
What a great place!
