On Friday of the kids four day vacation, we made our way to Canon City to the Pumpkin Patch. It gets so busy on the weekends, and we knew we could avoid some crowds. We picked a great day to go and the weather was perfect. It was so much less crowded then when we usually go on weekends.
The kids wanted to start in the corn maze this year. We were the only ones in there which was very nice. I didn't care for the game much this year, but the kids still enjoyed looking for clues. We discovered that Dawson has a keen sense of direction (he totally gets this from me) and did a good job of leading us through the maze.
After the maze, the kids explored the rest of the pumpkin patch. They played in the corn, went down the slides, and looked at the animals. The pumpkin patch was very full this year. We went on a mission to find the biggest pumpkins we could find. We found some big ones! This could get interesting when it comes time to carve the pumpkins. All in all, it was a great fall day full of fun.
