Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

A couple of weekends ago, we met up with some friends and family at the pumpkin patch in Elgin. There are probably too many pictures for you, but I figured I've been lacking in the blog department, so I might as well post them all.

Here's E in his wagon going to the farm:

He immediately found the toddler play area:

Played some tether ball with his Aunt Paula:

Obsessed over the balance beam, which he is quite good at by the way:

Fished for ducks, and won a prize. However, he would have rather taken the fishing pole as his prize:

Played bean bag toss with the pumpkin:
He refused to appease his mama and take a good pumpkin patch picture. This is the best we could get:

Then we took a hayride out to the pumpkin hunt:



Ethan had no trouble finding a pumpkin:


The whole thing is located on a Christmas tree farm, so E played hide-and-seek with Aunt P in the trees:



Then he chilled out with some of his friends and had a snack:


Once he had pretty much explored the entire farm, he hitched a ride with his cousin David back to the car:

We had a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to making it a family tradition. Hopefully, we'll find a better "patch" this year and get some pictures before October is over.
