Pumpkinland

Yesterday we bundled up and headed to Theis Farm for their annual pumpkinland.  My school as well as Max's school sold tickets so he was all excited that he might see some of his friends from school.  While it was a bit chilly, it was a beautiful day.  We started out on the hay ride.  Both boys loved heading out into the fields to see how all the different vegetables grow.  Max thought it was very cool that the big tractor wheels could make it through all the mud.  After the hay ride Max was ready to try out the really, really, really big slide.  I wasn't sure how he would like it, but he loved it!  He kept running back to stairs to go again. 

Will wasn't too sure about the hay.  He thought it was a bit pinchy.  I think the sun was also a bit bright for his liking.  I think I need to find him a pair of baby sunglasses.  He did think the crazy big pumpkins were pretty neat.

Max also discovered the hay tunnels.  There were two different pyramids built of out hay that had mazes running throughout them.  Max was one brave little boy --- as long as he had daddy's phone to use as a flashlight.  He loved it so much that he even ventured into the tower of terror. 

We left with what Max has named the 'family' pumpkin.  He picked it out himself, and it shows.  It is a tad bit lopsided.  He came home from school today and was all excited about how we should carve it and that we need to buy a candle so it can be a jack-o-lantern.  I think they read a book about carving pumpkins today.
