Pumpkin Patch

Our playgroup friends and we thought it would be fun to go to a pumpkin patch. The moms especially thought it would be fun to get a picture of all the kids together. (You will notice that this is a theme...of failure.) We met up at Ardenwood and explored the hay maze, hay bale pyramid, and picked out pumpkins.
There was also a tractor that pulled a hay wagon, and the boys were very excited to ride it, but sadly, it was only operational on weekends. There were a bunch of sad kids. We decided to head into the 'estate' portion of Ardenwood to find some shade for lunch. Since we wore ourselves out in the pumpkin area, we didn't explore much of the park, but we did find a great picnic spot with shaded tables and a grassy spot for the kids to run around. There was also a bird enclosure with many different birds and the kids enjoyed that too.
I did manage to get one photo of most of the younger set.

Zachary wanted nothing to do with the bus.
