We headed over to the patch today. We had planned on going to Susan, Matt and the girls, but quickly found out it would be a busy day! On the way, I told Brian it would be packed today. It was about 78 degrees and beautiful outside (borderline hot :) ). The first people we met up with were Meg, Travis, Wyatt and Ethan. The boys are so great with Burke and he loves playing with them! We bought tickets for the hayride, but then quickly decided to wait for Susan and Matt and do the pumpkin chunkin instead. It was $1 for 3 pumpkins. If you hit the target you got free ice cream! Of course we had to try :)
Brian didn't hit one (it's nearly impossible), but it was fun!
As we were waiting in line, The Olmstead's arrived. They waited for a bit with us and then headed down to look at the ducks. After everyone had a chance at the targets, we headed for the hayride. Susan and Natalie stayed behind to wait for Susan's mom. But we headed down with Matt and Abbey, the Eschenmman's and the Whaley's.
We walked around the patch for a bit. Most everyone in the group, quickly picked their pumpkins. I decided we wouldn't get one, since Burke didn't care and they are way overpriced :)
Burke had fun trying to push the pumpkins over...

It was Abby Whaley's birthday today (and Christa's too!), so we sang a little Happy Birthday while trying to take pictures.. Didn't work too well though :)
Burke and Claire really enjoy playing together. It's cute to see how well they can play (although it doesn't always work too well ;))
Claire giving Burke hugs! He likes the older ladies.
After we road back to the main area with our group, we said good bye to the Eschenmann's and Whaley's and headed to the pony station to watch Abbey ride the pony. She had been asking the entire hayride to get a horsey ride. She was so cute riding, with the biggest grin on her face! Burke and Natalie stood together and watched :)
They are so cute :)
We then ran into Kristen, Kassidy and Kolin and headed over to the farm animals. Burke has never been around any large animals, so I wasn't sure how he would act. He was terrified at first but did eventually warm up to the animals and want to pet them. I actually want to go back next weekend, just so he can pet them some more. Although, it is kind of dirty!
Our last adventure of the day: Kassidy wanted to show Burke through the cornmaze. Well, he was slow and she quickly got bored of it :) So he ended up lost ;) okay, not really!
We left the pumpkin patch and headed to dinner with the Olmstead's. We went out for mexican, which is our family favorite. We had a great time!
We had a great weekend! Hope you did too!
It was great! I'd go back again too!
