Pumpkin Patch (finally!)

We finally made it to the pumpkin patch!  

 We went to a simple, mom-and-pops farm about ten minutes from our house.  We went on a tractor ride out to their pumpkin patch, where we could each choose a sugar pumpkin.

 After the tractor took us back to the main farmhouse area, the girls painted their little pumpkins.  We also chose carving pumpkins from the farm store.

 Julia chose a 16-pound beauty . . .

 . . . and Evelyn's pumpkin weighed in at 15 pounds.

 The last activity of the day for the girls was running through the hay bale maze.  This was in the basement of the barn, and the girls needed flashlights to find their way out.  (I think they could have run the maze for hours if we hadn't made them go home!)  All in all, it was good, simple fun for everyone this afternoon.
