A Little Pumpkin at the Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday, the Davis family went to Stocker Farms to visit their pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful fall day, the perfect weather for some pumpkin hunting. We met our friends Malia, Jeff (I think that was his name), and Ally there and started off in the corn maze.

I'd never been in a corn maze before, so it was a new experience. Malia and I handled the map while Jeff and Ian handled the babies. I don't know if we would have ever gotten out without the map. The occasional bridges also helped us figure out where we were. Ally was big enough to walk some of the maze, but Evan chose to ride the whole way.

When we got done with the corn maze, Evan decided that he had a present for us. Now, some of you know that Evan is about a weekly pooper. On the day that we went to the pumpkin patch it had been nine days since he had pooped. He thought the pumpkin patch would be great place to get it over with. So, after the corn maze we headed back to the car, changed him out of his cute halloween outfit (which was now a little dirty), wiped the poop of his shoulders, and headed back out. We would not let it deter us from having a good time at the pumpkin patch!

After our little break, we also met up with our friends Meredith, Sacha, and Jason. We had some snacks and headed out to the pumpkin field. Ally rode in a little red wagon while the boys decided they would rather ride on their parents again (maybe because they can't quite sit up yet). The boys got some great pictures and we all found some nice pumpkins. Evan was very interested in touching and exploring the pumpkins. He had never seen anything like them!

We paid for our perfect pumpkins and headed back to the car with a delicious greasy corn dog to go. We all rested well when we got home that night!
