Pumpkin Patch

Sunday morning we headed out for our 2nd annual pumpkin patch trip to Maris Farms in Buckley.  It was a beautiful day but it was *freezing* so we bundled up the girls and got ready for a fun day.

In case you were wondering…it takes a ridiculous amount of time to get 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 infants out of the car and moving!  Luckily Addison and Chase were very patient :)

Once we were inside we made our way to the animals.  Chase is a HUGE animal fan so it’s always fun to watch him run around naming all the animals.

Next up…pony rides!  We assumed that Addison would enjoy this because she’s a huge fan of Nana’s horse Chloe in Camp Sherman, but with toddlers you never know how they’ll react to a new situation.  In typical Addison fashion…she was THRILLED!  She loved every minute of it and begged to go again once she was done.

After the pony rides the kids (and dads!) made a beeline for the bouncy pillow.DSC07793DSC07794 DSC07796DSC07802

Then we all took a little break since the dads were out of breath after all that bouncing :)

Once everyone caught their breath they were off to try out the mine shaft slide!  I’m not sure who had the most fun on this one …

After the slide, Erik and Pete took Addison and Chase through the corn maze while Jamie and I sat down to rest with the babies :)DSC07813

Then we figured we should actually pick out some pumpkins!!

Before heading out the kids got to ride on the ‘cow train’.   Addison conveniently ended up in the cow named Bossy!

After 3 hours at the farm we were ready to head home for naps!!  We all had a blast and we’re already looking forward to going back next year.
