JKs Pumpkin Patch Adventures

We decided to make Lincoln's first Halloween a memorable one. We went to this pretty cool pumpkin patch!! It started off with us picking out our pumpkin cart. Dave had a blanket in the car so he laid it down for Linc to be able to ride in the cart.

Next Dave put Linc in the corn box, where he got a bit curious and wanted to taste the corn. Dave and Colt had a bit of fun and buried Linc in the corn. I think he was a bit confused at what they were doing...but he enjoyed it!


We found a place to see how tall we are. First Dave held Linc up, but then realized he didn't have to hold him up because the little guy can stand up on his own!!


We had to take a family picture to see how we all measured up...it wasn't accurate, especially not for Linc, but it was a fun thing to do.

Fun times at some photo spots and some tricycle races. The boys rode the trikes just fine down the track until they got to the corner and then both got stuck...hilarious to watch!!




We had some fun at the little petting zoo...Linc liked the animals, especially their fur. Dave wanted me to take Linc down the hay slide so I did. That slide was pretty steep and a lot faster than I had anticipated.






We were able to take a hayride over to the pumpkin patch area so that we could pick our pumpkins (which I am realizing I didn't get a picture of). It was a fun little ride.






We took our time walking through the big pumpkin patch to find what we thought was the best pumpkin. Leslie and Colt picked a green pumpkin and then a green bumpy pumpkin. They love the ones they picked...definitely had character. Linc gave his kiss of approval to the pumpkin he liked!


On the way to the corn maze we stopped to enjoy the sunset...it was beautiful!! The corn maze was a fun little treat. It was a first for Linc, me and Colt! Hard to believe, but fun to share a first with my little baby boy.



Lincoln was sure fascinated with all of the hay and stole a few bites here and there. He had a good time as did the rest of us. We are already planning ahead for next year and have decided that we will go again. It's crazy to think that Linc will be running around then.
