Mimi's Pumpkin Patch

We had so much fun at the first pumpkin patch that we decided we should go again! This time we went to Hudson's great-grandma's pumpkin patch. She had some big ones so we had to take the wheelbarrow out to the garden to bring them back.

Pumpkin Patch!

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch. It was beautiful outside (although a little windy first thing in the morning) and we had a great time. There was lots more to do than just pick a pumpkin....we also got to see the cows and goats, play in the corn bin, go down the big slide and jump on the trampoline! Here's some pics of our day:

Hudson holding his pumpkin he picked out. Of course he picked up a different one as we were getting back on the tractor to leave. And he broke the stem off this one after we got it home.

Playing in the corn bin. They had this huge bin filled with corn kernels and he loved it. He kept throwing them and was pretty proud of himself for doing so!

After I finally got him out of the corn bin all he wanted to do was pick the corn kernels up off the ground. When we got home his diaper was filled with corn!

Climbing on the hay bales.

Jumping on the jumping pillow. This one was neat since it was inground the kids can't hurt themselves too badly on it. Hudson loved it. He kept saying "jumping, jumping, jumping" and "WHOA".

The slide. It was a pretty fun slide and very fast. We did it 3 times although I'm not sure he really liked it all that much. The third time up the hill to go down it he was saying "no, no."

Picking out more pumpkins. He liked this one with the bumps all over it. He found a little tiny green pumpkin later in the day and it's his favorite. He carried it around all afternoon yesterday and again this morning.

Posing with the BIG pumpkin. (That's the little green one in his hand.0)

Riding in the wagon with our pumpkins. I picked out 2 big ones that we'll carve for jack-o-lanterns sometime soon.

jack-o-lantern

Hudson really likes to watch candles burning so I thought he would like to look at a jack-o-lantern so Jamie carved one for us last week. Hudson didn't really seem to care though. But Jamie did a good job on the pumpkin. I didn't get a picture of it but he also used the rind he cut off to make horns for it and stuck them in the top of the pumpkin. One of the trick or treaters we had thought it was pretty cool.

Hudson is starting to sit up really good on his own now and can even pull himself up when he is reclining back on pillows to a sitting position and can hold it for a few minutes usually.
