pumpkin patch- trip 2.

I am still not sure how I managed to make three trips to a pumpkin patch last month and I have zero pictures of the little one with a pumpkin. Riddle me that.

After our trip to the pumpkin patch with the playgroup, BG could not quit talking about how much fun we had and kept asking to go back. I knew we had a trip planned with Uncle M and Aunt Kiki at the end of the month, but she wanted to go like five minutes ago so I Googled a near by patch and off we went.

It was pretty last minute and I had no idea what to expect, but the patch was kind of awesome and not very far away. And there was so much to do. Plus? a corn maze, which we got lost in (we would get lost in a cardboard box, true story).

It took BG a grand total of five minutes to decide that traipsing through corn mazes is not her thing. We spent the rest of the time trying to cat wrangle her all the while trying to figure out how to get the heck out of dodge the maze.
"But Dad, who said this was fun?! CARRY ME!!!
We did eventually make it out. Although we went out the Entrance. Pretty sure we would still be in there if we tried to find the Exit.

BG immediately decided she had to partake in the games and the fun little sandbox full of corn (that's fun?), so off we went.
Oh wait! There was a pumpkin! Consider this my pumpkin shot for 2012.It ended up being a perfect little Sunday afternoon trip and such a great little family fun day. I think that's the reason I was able to talk Mr. P into another pumpkin patch trip the following weekend. Ha.

pumpkin patch: trip 1

So it's November and I'm still blogging about October. Typical.

Last month, was such a blast. Even though we are in a new town, we've made it a point to get out and check things out and to find lots of activities that BG would enjoy. And we found tons of things to do. Like I said, last month was a blast.

Right after moving here, I got pretty dang lucky and got to meet up with Whitney and her little one. Needless to say, BG and I adored them and couldn't wait til we could hang out again. They're just awesome sauce.

We became fast friends and luckily the girls get along well too, so we've managed to get together quite a bit. When Whitney invited us out to the pumpkin patch with the two of them and their play group, we jumped at the chance.

Hang out with them? Cool. Meet other Moms in a town where I know no one? Ummm... yes please.

So we went. And we had a total blast.

We went on a "hay ride" out to the pumpkin patch, which was way picked over, but the kids loved it and that's all that matters.

There were still a few pumpkins left though and they were just the right size for the kiddos.
BG thoroughly enjoyed running around like a crazy person but wasn't quite as fond of picking up the pumpkins. For a child as active as she is, she sure hates to get her hands dirty.
After the kiddos had picked out a pumpkin for each of them, it was back on the wagon and back to the front of the farm where the kids were allowed to hit up the games. BG quickly found the cow train and was less than impressed that it wasn't running.
So she took off to join everyone else on the bounce thing and the crazy fast slides.

I spent most of the rest of the afternoon just trying to keep up with my crazy kid.
She was less than impressed that I kept making her stop for five seconds to take a picture. Hard life.
Of course after all that play we had to refuel with ice-cream.
We had an absolute blast.

Need proof?
This was my view not even five minutes down the road. And that? never happens.

We are so thankful for new friends in this town. So thanks Whitney and L for inviting us!!
