Pumpkin farm

Yesterday we had a great morning at a local pumpkin farm, full of all sorts of mazes and fun activities for the kids. (Warning, this is very pic heavy)

There were lots of different kinds of mazes, which was a big hit with Miles, he loves mazes. The favorite maze here for Miles is a spooky spider maze, but it is fairly dark inside, so although we went through the maze at least a dozen times, I have no pics. Here are the boys in the next maze, a no left turn maze, it was fun and somewhat tricky to figure out, the boys gave up and went on to something else while Mike and I kept at it until we finished:


A climbing tower, early in the day both boys climbed up using the stairs, later on Miles got much braver:

Farmer Quincy:


Another maze, this time just a regular hay maze, here's Miles figuring it out:

And he hit a dead-end:

And Quincy making his way through:


There was a small corn maze, and a big corn maze, here we are in the big corn maze, Miles posing:

Quincy posing:


Quincy and his posse:


Miles got pretty brave at the farm and decided to try climbing all of the climbing activities, first was the hay bale pyramid:

Then big hay bales:

Here is the the rock wall and rope ladder on the climbing tower:



He got to the top of the hay pyramid, and he got at least half way up on all the others!

Quincy loved riding a tractor:


Through the giant scarecrow's legs to the pumpkin patch:

Quincy , very happy with the pumpkin he picked out:


The boys, the end of a fun day:

Wow- great pictures- worth the wait - loved the mazes and how brave you were climbing all those neat things, Miles - you are becoming quite the explorer. Have fun making scary jack-o-lanterns
