the kids had the day off for school so one of my friends arranged for a group of us to meet up and get a group rate at a local pumpkin patch. it just happened that we have gone to this patch every year that we have lived in ohio. the kids look forward to it every year (and so do i). i think that there may have been 20 or so of us in total. matt had planned on taking the day off from work but then had an early morning meeting come up that he couldn't miss. but then he surprised us all by joining us for fun and lunch before heading back to work! it was a grey day, but the forecasted rain stayed away and it was comfortable to be outside - with jackets.
a maze that was trickier than it looked.
the staff has parents in the group each do one part of the face painting - assembly line style - and the results are pretty impressive! (maddux had a bat on his nose too.)
i think all of the kids could have spent the entire day in the corn bin and have been totally content.
bunnies!
this time i even sprang for the train ride. it was funny to see the trail of parents following the train around the property to make sure that their child didn't stand up.
it took a while to find an animal that was still hungry enough to eat from manning's bowl. he was thrilled to feed the "moo."
I LOVE fall! I'm sure its even better up north with the crisp, cool air. We haven't gotten to that yet.Looks like it was a very fun morning. I went in a grain bin once as a kid (like the corn bin) so. much. fun!!!

Love those cute pumpkins! Matt looks like he is really enjoying the duck race. Hope he wasn't competing with all the kids!!
