Another pumpkin patch trip

Yesterday my cousin Rachel came out from the city to visit us for the day, so we took her to one of our local farms that has lots of the fun fall activities: a corn maze, a hay maze, a milo maze, a spooky maze, a hay tunnel, a hay pyramid, potato races (with onion sacks?!), sand boxes with dried corn kernals instead of sand, and lots and lots of other fun activities. And yes, this is a different one than the last two farms we went to this week. The boys had lots of fun, Miles adored Rachel and stuck by her the entire day, well, dragged her along everywhere he went would be a more accurate description. Oh, and you will notice Miles with his hood up and jacket zipped all the way to his chin. It was not actually cold, just a bit chilly, so I put light jackets on the boys, but the jacket had a zipper and a hood, so Miles feels if the jacket has those things, then they must be used at all times.
There were several different types of mazes at this farm. This one here was called a Milo maze, I'm no corn or farm expert, but I would guess Milo is a small type of corn, at least the stalks were small. Miles again took the lead and worked hard to find the right path through the maze. Quincy was excited to be following close behind.
And a rare occurance here, Quincy in the lead!
Here is Miles, he thought the hole was in the pumpkin so you could put your face in and make it a jack-o-lantern. So here is his best jack-o-lantern face:

Some little rocking horses, the kids had fun racing on them:

Yep, all of the kids!!!

A hay tunnel, Miles and Rachel went through a few times, even Miles had to crawl to get through:

Quincy went through once, no crawling necessary for him:


Again, a very fun day, The kids were worn out, but happy. It was great to see Rachel again, we are just so happy she took the time to come all the way out here to our neck of the woods. We had a great visit and are looking forward to the next time we get to see her!
