Off to the Pumpkin Patch!

We knew it was going to be a rainy Saturday but like we're known to do, we still proceeded with our plans to visit the pumpkin patch.
We went back to Bob's pumpkin farm. We really like it here. I think they have the sweetest and freshest corn I've ever had and their pumpkin and apple cider donuts are so so good!

I finally got Riley a raincoat ... I am so happy about that. Now I don't have to worry about him getting soaked. Although it was raining there was quite a bit of people.

He loved the fact that he could be out in the rain. He splashed in puddles and ran all around. I did have to dry his face every now and then though.

The first thing we did was to grab some of their sweet roasted corn. It's seriously good. I'm so glad they have a covered eating area.

We then got on their tractor hay ride that took us to the pumpkin patch across the road. I really like the scenery and I especially like it when there's low clouds/fog over the distant mountains.


These two couldn't wait to walk through the corn maze. Jacob and I decided at the last minute not to do the corn maze. I thought since it was raining that we should pick pumpkins while Sydna and Nathan went though the maze. I was most interested in searching for pumpkins.

Riley was so eager about picking pumpkins that he wanted to put every other pumpkin in the wheelbarrow.
So glad we had our rain boots on. You can just imagine how muddy it was out here. I could feel my boots sinking in the mud. The best part was not having to worry about getting muddy. I sure loved that!

Getting rained on sure makes things a tad challenging but we still enjoyed ourselves ... we weren't going to let mother nature spoil our fun. Just glad it was rain and not heat that we had to deal with.

After we gathered enough pumpkins we headed over towards the washing stations.


And while we waited for Sydna and Nathan to get out of the corn maze and for the tractor hay ride to come around Riley decided it would be fun to dance in the rain.



We bought pumpkin and apple cider donuts. They were both good but I liked the apple cider donuts the best. They were so soft and very addicting, kinda scary really cause I could have finished the whole bag. I would have too if I would have had some yummy coffee to go along with it.

Once we got home we all changed into warm clothes and I brewed some coffee, lit the candles on my mantel and put on a family halloween movie.

We love visiting the pumpkin patch. Everything about it is fun.
