Walter's Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday of our trip we headed out past El Dorado, Kansas to a pumpkin patch. It was super cold, but we really enjoyed all the kid-friendly things for Gabrielle to do there. Unfortunately we didn't stick around to take a hay-rack ride to the field to pick out our own pumpkin. May be next time!

Galloping on the bounce.

Even fell down a few times, but it's still fun!

Check out that happy smile!

Gabrielle having fun on the bounce.

Turn down the volume a little first...

Gabrielle and I walking up the hill to the slide.

That was FUN!!!

This time going up with Daddy.

Check them out way up at the top (under the flag).

Gabrielle and Nick enjoying their ride down the slide too.

Gabrielle having fun on the hay bales...

I had a LOT of fun playtime on bales growing up too!

Heading down a slide...again!

Wheeeee!!!

Riding on the pretend horse, but NOT wanting a picture.

Playing in the bin of corn. She still talks about this part of the pumpkin patch (even though she only wanted to play in there for a few minutes). I was a super proud farm-girl when she immediately went over to play with the dump truck and tractor!

The pumpkin shooter.

Waving at daddy from the top of the sand-tire pile.

We're the queens of the mountain.

Trying out some of the orange trikes.

Mommy's turn to drive.

Fun ride on the trike!

Make sure you turn down the volume a little first...

Thought my NASCAR friends would enjoy this!

Gabrielle working her way through the hay bale maze.

A little time just for Nick and I on the swing built-for-two.

Kisses!

Reminds me of the engagement pictures that we took over seven years ago...seems just like yesterday!

Nick pretending to get ready to swing over the creek. I wanted to do it, but they said no since I'm pregnant. Guess we'll have to go back next year so that I can have my fun! :)

Nick and I riding the red and blue tire horses. Gabrielle didn't want to take a turn, so we had fun instead.

Enjoying sitting in the "train car" before the ride.

Grandma and Gabrielle before the train ride.

Getting ready to ride the "train" at the pumpkin patch. She obviously had second thoughts as soon as she realized that we weren't going with her. It's funnier now to watch it back then it was to see in person that day.

Notice that Gabrielle is no longer in the train car, and she's sitting in the front by the driver. They had to stop to let her sit in the front...bummer!

Picking out some pumpkins and gourds before we leave.
