Perfect Pumpkin Evening

To celebrate Columbus Day or really because Jake had off of work slash for Family Night...
We headed to Thanksgiving Point to get us some pumpkins. It was $10 a tickets for each adult and the kids were free. Thinking this was a lot for a pumpkin patch/ corn maze admission fee, we hoped for the best and headed out. After 90 minutes there we concluded it was worth every penny- and a new Fall tradition for the Team.
Kate looks for a pumpkin. Really for the pumpkin choosing she was crying because she was hungry and we told her it was time to leave. She didn't want to leave and didn't want a pumpkin because it was dirty and she didn't like them. Once home though she found pumpkins appealing once again. Plus if Thanksgiving Point doesn't have a real pumpkin patch who does. I mean a field with pumpkins not just bins of them and some haystacks with a few sitting there. Whatever they lacked in actual pumpkin patchness, they made up for in entertainment.


Pumpkin Princess Playland was our first stop.
Kate wonders the corn maze. Will she be lost forever???
Tons of silly faces. I can't hold Kate up and get my face in the hole.
Riding on the Grain Train. Dusty. Bouncy. Still Fun.
Adult size tricycles. It sounds lame but everyone was having a blast on them.
Jake attempts a lasso. Boy I love my farm boy.
Jumping Pillows were one of the best things.
Add in about eighteen other things, like hay slides, make your own snow cones, pumpkin launchers, millions of things to climb. chicken shows, etc. that I didn't take pictures of, or we didn't have time to do and you get one- well four- satisfied customers.
Top it off with some burgers from JCW's (the best burgers we have ever eaten), a compliment from a stranger on what well behaved children I have, singing songs all the way home, and kids so tired they fell asleep promptly at 8:00 pm you get a Perfect Pumpkin Evening.
