Dr. Maze's Pumpkin Patch

Today was a busy! Some of it was super fun, other parts, not so much. The not so much part was when we dropped Daddy off at the airport. He only takes one business trip a year, and this is it. We were already missing him when we pulled away from the drop off area.  We drove to Crossroads, dropped off our mail in ballots. Lon wanted some Cold Stone ice cream. I got some too, thought it would be good. Pineapple frozen yogurt, and I mixed in raspberries.  It would have been good if it had a pineapple taste to the frozen yogurt and was not grainy.   Lon said his was really good.  We got home about 15 minutes before Auntie Michelle, Brian and Kayla came over for the super fun part of our day!
We went to Dr. Maze's Pumpkin Patch. It used to be known as the South 47 Farm. They are back to having a corn maze, pumpkins to buy and the hay ride. Lon still loves the hayride.  We parked pretty far away, and we saw someone pushing back a wheel barrow. I told him I would be happy to take it back for him. He was happy about that! I loaded up the children and pushed them to the farm.  All the kids rode, not just Lon. Since I was pushing, I could to get that photo!  Lon really liked that ride.
We bought tickets and got in the long line for the hayride.  The kids would wander away and come back. We had to wait two rides to get ours. About 40 minutes. That was a long time for little kids! But they were good.

Lon likes these silly things, but then again, so do I!  It was just hard to catch him smiling, the sun was in his eyes
With the pumpkin people
Pumping water ROCKS! Why, I am unclear.
A small maze for the kids that the hops did not grow to cover.  Notice how when Lon got stuck he just went through. He would not ever call 911 when he was lost in a corn maze.  (there was a family that did just that a few days ago.) Just go through the corn!
FINALLY on the wagon!  Having fun watching the farm go bumping by

The stunted corn maze. It really was a lousy summer!
King of the Hay Bales!
We left just a little bit later. Brian and Lon played cars. Kayla had a little nap before dinner. I made spaghetti and meatballs. Salad and bread. It was good.  We had a great day!

Did the kids wonder away or wander?

Cute Pumpkin day. That is so nice to see. I miss the pumpkin patches when the kids were small.
