Patch da Pumpkin

What is October without a trip to the pumpkin patch?

Our faithful readers know we visit the pumpkin patch most years.  You can revisit those trips here, here, here, and here.

The horse swings were a hit! 

Anna Ruth would have stayed on this all day if she could have. But the last Saturday before Halloween proved to be a busy day at the patch and kids were lined up waiting their turn.

Joshua tried to run in the barrel but got so tickled with his falling that he could hardly walking in it.

Anna Ruth rocketed out of the slide.

 The corn box is always a favorite. Corn ends up in every pocket, sock, shoe and underwear but when else will you ever get to play in huge boxes of corn kernels?

Riding the "train" was on the top of our to-do list. Anna Ruth was ecstatic about it until it was time to take off. Dave and I waved and encouraged Joshua to hold on to her. She quickly quit screaming and was even smiling when they came back to the station. 

Happy Fall from the Nolens!
