Pumpkin King in a Pumpkin Patch

We were so lucky to have my mom come and visit us for Russell's birthday. We had her and Ashlyn with us that weekend, so we decided to spend our Saturday exploring one of the many pumpkin patches near us.

Russell was in outside heaven. There were wood cut-outs of lots of cartoon characters for Russell to check out when we first got there.

There were also tons of big blow-up play areas. Russell decided he wanted to go down one of the slides, but was too scared to go up himself. Luckily Aunt Ashee was nice enough to assist him since Mommy is too big for those things now.

Then he headed to the major pumpkin part of the patch. There was a lot of fun in that section. They had wagons to pull pumpkins in, which worked great for pulling Russells temporarily too until they decide they need to push it. There was a hayride, giant hay mountain to climb, tons of pumpkins, and a small train ride. Russell could have stayed for hours!

We did take some family pictures in the patch. Mostly to have a nice picture to finally fill a frame that has been empty for months in our front room.
