Pumpkin Farm Deja Vu

Thursday was Little Lambs Preschool's field trip to the pumpkin farm. It was so nice outside and the kids all had so much fun. This particular farm is amazing and has just about anything you could possibly want to do at a pumpkin farm.



However, the kids got to do everything except pick out a pumpkin. Josh and Harrison loved the corn bin (basically a huge sand box filled with corn) until Josh realized he had corn kernels in his socks, shoes and underwear. It took him once down the tube slide until he figured that one out!

But the biggest hit of the day was the pig race.



There is just something about seeing pigs run that makes me laugh. It reminded me of the time my parents let me wear my brand new sneakers out to a church choir picnic at one of the member's farm (I don't know what they were thinking). Well, all the kids thought it was funny to run and scream at the pig pen. Then all the pigs would take off squealing and kick up a bunch of flying mud (and you know what else). Well, it was my turn to run towards the fence and I slipped and couldn't stop. Yeah, my new shoes were ruined because I got them stuck in a nice huge pile of pig manure. Not only did I get to hear, "I told you so."; but I had to ride home with them hanging out the window due to the stench. How my parents didn't smack me is far beyond me.

Anyway, as you can see...it was a great day!







Since we didn't actually get a pumpkin on Thursday, we all decided to head to another farm closer to home on Saturday. It was windy and hectic but well worth it!!!



Josh's favorite part was the corn maze. We had to do it twice and run away from all the "booby traps"! Josh lead us through and Dustin kept saying, "Are you going to get us out of here, Josh?" It was cute the first 10 times, but after he asked it for the eleventh time Josh sort of snapped. "Dad, enough. I'll get us out of here. Geez." It was taking forever and I was ready to leave...but that was hysterical.



We walked over by the cows and realized that they were all eating. So Dustin reached out his hand to have one of the cows lick him. Dustin tried to convince Josh to come get his hand licked but as soon as Josh got a whiff of "cow" he started to gag and said, "Oh my Gosh. This place stinks." Then he immediately ran off. Guess he's not going to be a farmer.





We got our pumpkins and got to eat our lunch in the van on the way home. Josh said it was "the perfect day".
