The Pumpkin Patch

 Every year we plant pumpkins in our garden, but only the first year did we get enough pumpkins for all of our kids (and there were only two kids at the time!).  So we still have to take a trip to the local pumpkin patch to pick up some pumpkins.

 Funny, funny.  I still think the pumpkin is bigger than my belly!
 Miriam was trying to smile, but she was weighed down by that heavy pumpkin.
 After we got our pumpkins, Jack took the kids through the corn maze.  They started out planning on going through the shortest of the four, but then somehow got in the longest maze.  Miriam got pretty nervous about having to go 6 miles, so they cut through the corn and got back on the path for the short maze.  Afterward, they read the rules for the corn maze and it specifically prohibits doing this.  Oops.


 We finished off our afternoon by going to the other activities they had there, like the jumping castles and hay maze.  Joseph liked looking at the animals with Jack.  I heard that while they were looking at the pigs, Jack told Joseph that the pigs stink.  So as I was walking with Joseph to the car and asking him about the animals, he told me about the pigs stinking.  Very cute.  He also told me he saw an elephant.  Jack had to explain that the jumping castle he was in had an elephant on it.  Good thing, because I knew there were no elephants in the cages!
