Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we headed down the street to the KC Pumpkin Patch. It's pretty late in the year to pick out a good pumpkin as they were pretty well picked over, but I don't think Jo really felt like stumbling around a pumpkin patch while 9 months pregnant (I don't know what the problem with that is). Anyway...

...Devon wasn't really aware of anything that went on. I don't think he even opened his eyes the entire time we were there. But, Jake had a blast.

We took a hayride out to the depleted pumpkin field and spent most of the time trying to get Jake to stop picking at, poking and stepping on the rotted, decaying pumpkins. Until he found a decent small one for himself and an even smaller one for Devon.

He had a blast playing on the slides, playground equipment, walking through the hay bale maze (which wasn't much of a challenge since daddy could see over the tops of the hay bales and see our way out), and going through the haunted barn with mommy.

It was an easy, inexpensive way to exhaust him so we could get some rest later in the afternoon, and he had a great time doing it.
