The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday afternoon we went to Ganyard Hills Farms (http://www.ganyardhillfarm.com/) with the medical alliance (our playgroup friends). This was our first trip out there and it was well worth it. We played hard for 2 hours and could have stayed much longer! We had beautiful, cool fall weather so it was perfect for pumpkin pickin'!



There were a lot of activities for the kids. Avery's favorite was this huge "corn box" - I guess its the equivalent of a sandbox for farm kids! She filled her shirt, her socks, buried herself in it...loved every minute of it!!

We also went on a hayride around the farm and saw the corn fields, cotton fields, and the pumpkin patch.

love this pic of griffin - he is always such the observer.

Here is a "cow"that the kids got to milk! It was filled with water so it seemed pretty life-like for the kids. They were pretty baffled when I told them that is where their milk comes from!

griffin was actually very concerned that he couldn't get out of this maze...never mind the fact that I was 5 feet away and that he could have crawled over the side!

Both of the kids loved these big slides...really they were just huge, plastic drainage pipes held up by bales of hay! It was a bumpy ride down...

avery's turn!

griffin's turn!

This was Griffin's favorite thing. Not sure what its even called - but you put in an ear of corn and crank it and all the kernels come off....

HAPPY FALL, Y'ALL!
