Pumpkin patch

Today our church met at the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. Megan got to go on a field trip to watch Sleeping Beauty, so I thought it would be fun to take the other kids out. We didn't bother with the carpooling since we already have a pretty full car and we know how to get there since we've gone for the last three years.

The girls started off by going through the little kids maze. Jack stayed with me since it would have been difficult for me to go in and get him if he got lost. After that, we heading off to Kylie's favorite part of the whole Pumpkin Patch - the bounce houses. Kylie went in the big one with the slides and ladders, then all three kids went in the smaller square one. Even Jack loved it, although most of his time was spent trying to stay upright.

After the bounce houses, I pushed the kids on the merry-go-round (Kylie held Jack on) and then they explored the teepee. Jack loved it and didn't want to leave, but the hayride was getting ready to leave, so I scooped him up and we climbed into the hayride wagon.
Kylie sat next to me and Jack and Beth sat on the bale of hay right in front of me. It was very bouncy and Kylie asked if we were driving over pumpkins.
After the hayride, the kids climbed on the wooden tractor, train and farm truck. Their favorite was the tractor, although Jack likes anything with a steering wheel.

When the kids were done climbing, we walked over to see the animals. There were two pigs, a large tortoise, a donkey, and two horses. Near the pig pen and the horse corral, there were three large leather animals. The kids wanted to ride on them, so I lifted Jack up on top of the elephant, Beth on the lion and Kylie on the hippo. It would have made a cute picture, but I didn't want to move too far away from Jack, so I had to hold up the camera and try to get a good shot.
As we walked away from the animals, Jack spotted a little red tractor and immediately squirmed to get down. He made a beeline for it and spent a happy 15 mins pretending to drive it.
We had to get a picture with the Dora and Diego cut outs!
Before leaving, the kids each got a cup of shaved ice. Kylie got strawberry because it was pink, Beth got blue raspberry and Jack got pina colada because it's white. Below is the picture I got when I called Jack's name so he would turn and look at me. He thought he was getting another bite!
We finished up by buying 4 small pumpkins for the kids to paint (they aren't old enough to carve pumpkins).

I hope Megan had a great time on her field trip! We are off to walk to pick her up at school :)
