We went to Pooley's Pumpking Patch today after breakfast. I think I've been looking forward to this more than Ayla. Our neighbors, David, Megan, and their little boy, Jack had the same idea...as well as Meghan, Chris, and Heidi so we all met up there for a few fun hours. Here's our day in pictures:
Ayla running toward the entrance.

Feeding the chickens with Daddy.

She has been talking about petting the baby chicks all week but was a little apprehensive at first. She got really close and just giggled.


Attempt #2: She actually touched it!

Playing in "Cornyville"--it's a grain silo filled with a few inches of dried corn kernels and a bunch of buckets, shovels, and scoops--like a sandbox. The kids loved it!


Giant tire swing!


Driving the tractor.

Leading the way in the corn maze.

Chris picked an ear of corn for each of the kids...Heidi
loved hers...she held onto it for the rest of the time we were there, brought it home, and I heard she even took it with her to take a nap. :)


All three kiddos in the hay bales...not sure if it was a mini-maze or a pen.

Checking out the piggies.

Jack petting a bunny.

Ayla and Heidi looking at the bunnies from a safe distance. :)

"Piggy-back ride!"
On the hayrack ride to go pick out pumpkins.
Taking a quick break to "fly" with Daddy.
"How 'bout this one?"


Back from the patch and sitting at the "Corn Shooter." I think they're starting to look a little worn out...

Picking out a little pumpkin.

One more stop at the corn silo after lunch.
We had a fun, fun time...there's nothing better than seeing your kids have such a good time. I think I said this last year--I'd definitely recommend Pooley's. Sure it's not as big and flashy as Vala's, but it's half the price and it's perfect for younger kids. There definitely was plenty to keep them busy...and happy. :)
