Pumpkin Patch Fun

Even though we live in a city there are plenty of pumpkin farms around. My friend and neighbor, Darbi, gave us a pass to a pumpkin farm around here and they weren't going to use it. We went to The Farm and it was a lot of fun. There were lots of activities for the kids like jumping off hay bales into hay, playing in corn, going down plastic tube slides, playing on a playground, going through a hay maze through an old barn and coming down a slide, riding a cow train, petting animals, watching a duck race and riding on a tractor hay ride. And, of course, there's the yummy food: corn dogs, roasted corn on the cob, cider donuts, cider, scones, caramel apples and more. This pumpkin patch has a corn maze shaped like the state of Washington so as you go through the maze you are on highways around the state and you can learn about different towns and cities in our state. We even found the Vantage Bridge. :)

Great shots! But the real question is...did you find Mattawa in the maze?

We've been to that farm! It's a lot of fun! My son even recognized it and said, "There's the pumpkin patch!" even before he saw Kate with the big pumpkin.

The corn pit is awesome! :)

Wow you guys go all out! We went there but I didn't feel like spending $10 (or Amy spending $15) so we didn't do much and went to Carleton to play on the slides. And I've totally never done the corn mazes! Fun stuff :)
