Pumpkin Patch!

Sooo many pictures, so I'll explain as I go....

Today we headed out to Suter Farms.  It's about 35 minutes from where we are (maybe 40), and they had a corn maze and hayride where you pick your own pumpkins!  It sounded like fun online, so we had to check it out...


They had a Corn Box.... this is a large wagon FULL of corn kernels, like a sand box... it was AMAZING! Caylee loved it! 


On the hayride, she was trying to look over.. she really enjoyed picking at the straw too. 

The hayride took us back into some woods.  They had different types of trees labeled (for those that want to know what type of tree they are looking at), AND our guide stopped and did hand-puppets for us.  He had various animals and told what they did and stuff.... very cute idea!

Finally, the ride dropped us in the pumpkin field to pick our own pumpkins! I have never picked my own pumpkin and it was sooo fun.  Matt and I were picky, the one on the left ended up going with us!  Isn't it perfectly large, round, orange and has a great stem!?!?

Check out ALL the pumpkins!  We were glad we went early in the season, there were plenty of good ones left.  We bought 3 small gourds for Caylee to play with too. 


Hayride back to the farm with our pumpkin!

They had a large corn cob made with some sort of plastic jugs... neat idea!


We were really glad we chose to skip the maze.  It would have been really boring for Caylee at this young age, plus all the other stuff they had for little kids kept us entertained for 2 hrs!


See how tall the corn cob was?!?
 
 
They had several rocking horses and bouncing horses out for young kids too.... 

Back in the Corn Box... she was serious about playing in here and had a really really good time...


 Standing near the corn maze to show how tall the corn is... (Matt is 6ft, so you get the idea!)

And finally, some great pics in the pumpkin wagon....  I wish she'd look directly at the camera, but what can you expect from an 11 month old! We were happy we got her to stay in the wagon for a short time...


Closest I came to her looking at the camera, she is still looking off in the distance at others...


That was our awesome trip to Suter Farms!  They also had fresh apples and apple cider, we skipped out on that because it was getting late, but next time.  This will definitely be a Fall tradition for us, we all had such a great time!
