Today we took Aiden to the pumpkin patch to pick out our
pumpkins. This is the same pumpkin patch that we took Aiden to last year right
before we bought our house. The pumpkin
patch is located next door to our neighborhood so we are excited to build this into
one of our fall traditions.
We walked over to the pumpkin patch this morning. When we got there we looked and got sort of
close to the goats as daddy tried to point them out to Aiden.
We then headed to the front porch where they had rocking
chairs, haystacks, small gourds and we took these pictures. A gorgeous little area.
We then explored the “corn crib”, a big enclosed area with
corn for the kiddos to play. Think of a
big sand box with toys inside.
After playing and exploring other things we were able to
head towards the hayride. The hayride
takes about ten minutes out to the pumpkin patch where you are able to pick
your own pumpkins out. We were the only
people on our hay ride, which was really nice.
Aiden was not too sure after first.
He wanted to stand and hold on to mommy’s leg. After a few minutes he was ok to sit next to
mommy. Then proceeded to be intrigued by
the straw. It was so much fun to watch
his little brain churn and try to figure out what exactly he not only had in
his hand but was also sitting on. When
we got to the pumpkin patch he seemed to have fun walking around the whole area
and trying to pick up all different pumpkins.
We picked out a few smaller ones for him, held him up to him and he kept
pointing to the same one, so Aiden was able “to pick his pumpkin”. Then it was time for the hayride back. He was more prepared and ready this
time. He walked right up to the stairs,
we loaded him up there and he walked right to where we sat the first time. After the ride was over, he got down and
walked right to where he was to step down.
I think once he figured it out he liked it! Every time he hears or sees mowers, tractors,
or other farm machinery he loves watching them so he had a ball being on a big
tractor!
