Pumpkin Patch

Today we took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch in Clanton, AL. It was a beautiful day and perfect for Kate and Daddy's 1st trip!! There are so many things to do at the pumpkin patch besides picking pumpkins.
Our first stop was the inflatable village. It has 2 giant slides, an obstacle course and a bouncer. Drew was the only child I could get coming down the giant slide. They came down so fast!
Ben stopped long enough just for me to snag his picture going through the obstacle course.
Kate and Hayes enjoyed getting out of their strollers and crawling around on the "fake" grass!
Our next stop was the pony ride. Will decided not to ride the pony, he said he would probably break their back!!
Ben and Drew really enjoyed the ponies!
This year The Stallworth's minus Lacey, The Jefcoat's, The Dunn's and The Curtis' joined us. There were 14 children in all and only 3 of them were girls. This is the best shot I could get of all of them. The Dunn girls couldn't decide where to sit and Drew couldn't be still!!
Next was the Tractor Train Ride. This was another activity Will decided not to do. He and Cade went to the Country Store to Shop! In this picture is Drew and Cole.
Bringing up the rear of the train ride were Walker, Press, Payne, Ben and Miles. This is the cheapest activity there. It was only $1!!
Finally, it was time to load the Huge Hayride to the Pumpkin Patch to pick our pumpkins. Here is our family.
The boys get the best spot on the hayride!
We usually go toward the end of the month and the pumpkins are so picked over. It was much better today. The boys were all over the place looking for the best pumpkin.
Drew found his first!
All of these pumpkins were perfect for Kate. She thought they were so neat!

For a minute we had thought we had lost Ben in all the vines but he finally appeared with his pumpkin next!
Will walked nearly over every row and finally found a pumpkin. He was tired by the time he found it!
After everyone found their pumpkin and played on the huge hay bales it was time to load the tractor hayride back to the barn for a much needed snack.

I love cotton candy and so did Kate. She had her 1st taste of it today!
We had a blast and I hope you enjoyed our pictures!!
