We went to the pumpkin patch with Melissa this week. Along with James, Leo and Annika's dad, I got to be a chaperon on this trip. Kiddos in tow were Sean, David, Leo, Annika, Cruz, Kahlil, and Langston. We rode in a trailer behind a great tractor though DEEP mud to get to the pumpkin patch. The rule of the patch was that you can only take a pumpkin that you can carry by your self... our pumpkins were pretty small. Back at the farm the kids got to use an air cannon to launch ears of corn across a field. It was pretty loud, but the flying corn was exciting enough that nobody seemed to mind the noise. Then it was off to the rubber duck races which seemed to be the favorite activity of the day. It was a great setup where you put your duck on a gutter-track then pump a hand pump to get water to flow into your gutter and push the duck. Kahlil was awesome at it and won several of his races... Langston may need another year and a few more inches before he's competitive. We also spent a little time in the hay bale maze. The bales were just tall enough to define the maze, but not so tall that the kids couldn't see over them. It was funny because even though Kahlil could see everybody and everything, he got upset a couple times because he was 'lost'. Luckily we were able to point him in the right direction. Despite the chill and the mud, or maybe because of the mud, everybody had a great time.
