Day at the Pumpkin Patch...

We took Tyler to an awesome pumpkin patch, Ganyard Farms, over the weekend. It was Tyler's first real pumpkin patch. Last year, we took Tyler to a small pumpkin patch parking lot with some pumpkins. It was free and served the purpose of finding a pumpkin and snapping a picture. Where we live, the cost is around $12 to go to a pumpkin patch with activities for kids. I refused politely declined last year, knowing that our then 7 month old wouldn't get much out of it. This year, we went and had a great time! Check it out!

Tyler liked driving the John Deere Tractor. Hmmm, I wonder where he got that from?!

There were two slides that ended up in a large play area of corn. This is the toddler slide:

Tyler liked watching the goat. He also liked leaning up against the fence and "dancing" ie: bouncing his legs up and down.

They had a small corn maze and Tyler went through it quickly, with Matt as his leader:

This is the "big kid" slide that landed the kids in the big play area of corn. Tyler wasn't sure about the corn at first. He didn't want to play in it, but he didn't mind sliding into it. We had to pick him up out of the corn, but it was worth it to see his smiles going down the slide! Our friends, Mike and Serena, were in town. Mike got into the play area to help him on the slide!

I just think this picture is funny. First, this kid can't get enough of cars, trucks and wheels. He can say "caaa" for car. Second, that is a little guy next to a big tire!

These are two of my favorite pictures. This is when we were walking through the corn maze. It was past Tyler's nap-time and he was tired!

Of course, a pumpkin patch is not complete without pictures by the pumpkins!

Once we left the pumpkin patch, this was the scene within the first five minutes...there is something to be said for toddlers being able to run around large fields and wear themselves out! Nice work, pumpkin patch. Nice work. We can't wait to take him back next year!
