Pumpkin Patch Fun

On Sunday, we made our annual trip to Diana's Pumpkin Patch in Canon City.  We just love that place so much!  It just doesn't feel like fall until we have made a trip out there.  They always have a fire going so it smells like fall and the beautiful fall trees surround it.  They actually changed it a lot this year and I think that we liked the changes.  It was pretty crowded due to a Groupon deal that they had that sold out very quickly.  We still had a good time despite how many people were there.   

 The Maze.

The first thing that we noticed was that they had added a slide.  Ashlyn was very excited to give it a try.  She crawled right up to the hale bays to give it a go.

This is what the slide looks like.  All the kids seemed to have a blast on it.

With admission, you get a free pumpkin.  Ashlyn immediately picked her pumpkin out.  She knew which one she wanted!

They also have a huge area filled with corn.  Instead of playing in sand, the kids can play in corn.  Ashlyn loved playing in it. 

I even let Dawson try it out.  I had to keep a very close eye on him because he kept trying to eat the corn.

We attempted a family picture.  We found it very hard to get a picture with both kids looking at the camera.  This is the best shot we got.

The corn maze was really big this year.  They always have a game to play while you walk through it to make it fun.  This year was a clue type game.  You had to find different clues through out the maze.  Ashlyn had a blast looking for the clues.  She wanted to lead the way the whole time.  She was fast in the corn maze!

Mommy and Dawson taking a break.  I just love his shirt, so I wanted to get a good picture of it.

I love him so much!!!

I think I see a really cute little pumpkin!

My two loves.  Dawson had a blast standing in the pumpkins.  It was cute.

Best buds hanging out.  Katy swears that they have a special language that they talk to each other in.  She said that they will be babbling to one another and laughing like crazy.

My handsome little man.

Joey has this thing about taking a picture every year of throwing Ashlyn up in the air in the corn maze.  This was our favorite.  He insisted on getting a shot of Dawson too.  I assure you that Dawson wasn't thrown high at all and he absolutely loved it! We had a great time and can't wait to back again next year!  I'm sad that it's over for the year.
