Pumpkin Patch

I don't know how I forgot to post this, but Sunday, Oct. 16th we headed to a pumpkin patch. (We did go to Chattanooga the day before so maybe I got caught up with those posts to remember...) Oakes family farm offered a groupon a while back so we took advantage to enjoy our first fall activity in TN. We got there right when it opened and I was glad we did by the time we left there was a huge line so it was nice to enjoy it before the crowds really came in.

Mason and Reagan ready to go at the farm.

Oakes had a a lot of activities for kids of all ages. Mason and Reagan loved these slides and we went over and over and over again. I loved Reagan's hair and skirt flying! She had a blast.

They had a pumpkin race in water troths, although Reagan was move interested in "washing" her hands than racing.

A kid corn maze and a HUGE adult one that we didn't even attempt.
The kid one was tricky enough for our two!

A corn box- like a sand box but with corn kernels. Both kids loved this. They also had a bounce house, a real sand box, a tire mountain, a pumpkin gun, and a petting zoo. Literally, you could stay all day. The weather was great and we took in as many activities as we could. But we came for one real reason. To get a pumpkin...

Anxiously waiting to reach the pumpkin patch while on the hay ride.

Looks like we found a winner! I have to note- this farm had so many more activities than any patch we visited in Seattle, it was great. But, it wasn't a real patch like Seattle. It was just a field where they dumped a bunch of pumpkins- still fun for the kids, but once you have dragged a wheel barrow throw the mud into a real patch looking for the perfect pumpkin- there is no comparison. Note the rain boots. They didn't even get muddy. Oh well, they looked cute doing it.

And finally, a family picture! One day we will all look the same direction and smile. until then. this is us.

Happy Fall Ya'll!
