Pickin' Punkins

On Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch called McCall's Haunted Farm to pick out our pumpkins. It it pretty much like a smaller version of Thanksgiving Point. We saved getting pumpkins for last though, so we didn't have to carry them around all afternoon, and headed to the game area. On the way to the games there was a whole bunch of animals that you could stop and pet. Our favorite of those animals were the bunnies in their little bunny town.

I just love how the bunnies are all hanging out in front of the little buildings! Too cute!

The first game that we played was racing rubber duckys.

After that game we headed to the pumpkin pillow. It's like a giant pillow filled with air that you jump on like a trampoline. It seems really dangerous to me but the kids love it!

Liv had to sit down because her bounces kept getting stolen.

Harris could have stayed on this the whole time we were there!

When our time was up on the pillow pumpkin we went to the 'mine shaft'. Which was a slide that went through a giant hill. It was super fast!

 The kids go to do it several times before everyone else figured out there wasn't a line for it. When a giant line formed for the slide we headed to the pumpkin sling shot. It wasn't actually a pumpkin sling shot. It was a pieces of cut up gourd sling shot. It was ok though, they still had fun doing it.

 Liv's turn.

 Harris' turn.

Chet's turn.

When we were done playing we made our way to the hayride to the pumpkin patch. It was a fun ride through the whole farm and out to a giant field of pumpkins.

On the hayride to the pumpkins. Such a cute family I have!

Even though there were hundreds of pumpkins to choose from there weren't very many good ones left. However, we did manage to find a couple that we thought would make cool jack-o-lanterns.

Chet trying to find his perfect pumpkin. He takes his pumpkin carving very seriously therefore the picking of the pumpkin is of the utmost importance.

Every pumpkin that Harris passed he had to check out and then declare it was perfect and better than the previous one he had picked.

Liv making sure that her pumpkin is a good one.

Despite the wind and the cold day we had a really fun time. I think that next year, however, we will go a little earlier in the season. :)
