The Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch
A few weeks ago we decided that it was finally cool enough (only in the low 80s at 9 am) to go to the pumpkin patch. We had a great day!  We began our morning by grabbing some doughnuts and milk at Krispy Kreme and then headed to Tolmachoff Farms. 

Checking out the animals at the petting zoo.

 Larkin decided to check out the Three Little Pigs' houses. 
Here she is with the first little pig whose house was made out of straw.

 Venturing through all of the houses.

Larkin and Daddy pretending to be fruits and veggies!

The Family Corn Maze
Part of the fun at the pumpkin patch was going through the family corn maze.  It is supposed to take about 45 minutes and while in the maze you search for trivia answers and six mailboxes which each have part of the map of how to get out inside.  We had lots of fun and it took exactly 45 minutes.  Once we had all six pieces of our map we discovered that the corn maze was in the shape of a scarecrow.
 Entry to the corn maze.

 You can see just how tall it really is!

 Larkin and Brayden along for the ride.

 Larkin got a little hungry while we were in there!

 We made it to the end!

Seeing the Animals

 Daddy is holding a baby chick for Larkin to pet.  She thought it was, "SO CUTE!"

 Have to pet the horses!

 Checking Out the Pumpkins
 Here we are trying to find a good spot for a picture.

 Picture time did NOT go so well. 
It is hard to get both of them happy and looking at the camera!

 Here Brayden is NOT happy and I am not really sure what either one of them are looking at!

 Trying to decide which one is the best.
