Fun at Walter's Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch this year. We've been going every year since 2005, when I was pregnant with Abigail. This year the kids were old enough to really enjoy it.




They got to ride in a wagon, and they enjoyed a train ride (below).









Mary tried out the tire horse swing, with Abigail pushing her, then Abby was convinced it was safe and had a turn too.
The kids really loved sitting on the big tractors, and playing on the various swings, slides, and other toys.
Abby got in a big corn pit ^...kind of like a ball pit only filled with dried corn. Gavin did not join her, he was playing on a big tractor and much preferred that to the corn pit option.

Abigail tried out a saddle ^


Sitting on a big set of hay steps ^

Cautiously waving at a clown ^ (Abby had a look on her face like "Ummm....")

Before we left the kids got to have a pumpkin cookie...yum!

Oh, I don't want to forget the pictures of the actual pumpkin patch. We picked out 2 nice pumpkins for our front porch.


Hmm...not sure if this one is quite right.
