Pumpkin Patch

This week we went to one of our many local farms that has fun fall activities.
Here the guys are waiting for the hay ride to the pumpkin patch to start. They were watching every move the driver made as he was helping people on the wagon and closing the back and walking to the tractor and then driving. They were so excited once things got moving...but as you can see were very serious before hand while they waited.

Here, in the pumpkin patch they are looking at an old squished pumpkin. After I took this picture they both started stomping in it...good thing they were wearing their favorite boots!

Cole's version of 'thumbs up'!

Dylan is commenting on the fact that this pumpkin is big and orange, has a stem and has dirt on it.
He said that about almost every pumpkin he looked at!

The farm also had these great bins filled with dried corn kernels that the guys played in for about a half an hour. It was like a big yellow sand box!
After playing in the corn, talking about corn and seeing tall corn stalks the guys really wanted to eat some corn. Lucky for us the farm was grilling some up that day! They each ate a whole ear and still wanted MORE!!

Another favorite activity was the straw bale maze. It was only 2 bales high so the boys could see over them. They loved going down the little paths and when they would come to a dead end they would turn around and say 'other way! other way!'.

Dylan has also been getting ready for Halloween...or partially. If you can't tell by only the head piece...that is part of a lion costume. But yes it mostly looks like a bad wig! And he loves to wear it.
