Pumpkin Farms

The last two weekends we have taken advantage of the warm weather and headed off to two different pumpkin farms. The first pumpkin farm is one that Tom and I have been going to for years even before Austen was born. Austen and Peyton got to run around the farm, go on a scary hayride (Austen was more scared than Peyton but not scared enough to miss it). Austen rode a pony. Peyton said she didn't want to go. They ate kettle corn, picked out pumpkins and played on the slides at the farm. Here's a summary in pictures of our day at Goebbert's.










This past weekend, we joined friends and headed to Stade's Farm and Market. It was a different experience than Goebbert's. Austen and Peyton went on this one ride that I remember Austen loving as a little kid and Peyton loved it too....so much that she went on it twice! Peyton also made her first appearance in a bouncy house. At first, she wasn't so sure but soon she got into jumping around with her brother and friends. We took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch where you could pick your own pumpkins - we came home with two more. Austen rode some dirt bike and a pony and this time Peyton ventured to ride a pony too. We ended the day by taking the kids to "Old MacDonald's" as Austen calls it (aka McDonald's). Here's a summary in pictures of our day at Stade's.
