Last Saturday we took the kids out for a day of fall fun. We started the day at our local apple orchard. We have been a few times already, but had never gone through their big "Apple Core Maze". It's like a smaller version of a corn maze. We had to search for answers to questions as we wandered around trying to find our way out.
We had a good time, though by the end we were still missing one of the answers and the kids had had enough of the maze! :) Francis ended up going back in while I waited and thankfully someone else was able to tell him where the answer was. Come to find out, Grace had actually found it early. It was underneath a platform and as we walked by she pointed and said "there it is"... but I thought she was looking at the apple windsock that was above it. So, we spent a lot of time we didn't need to... next time we'll have to listen to her! :)
After a quick lunch, we headed to the pumpkin patch. Grace fell asleep on the way there and took about a 5 minute nap.
Thankfully, she perked right back up when we got outside and she saw all of the pumpkins. We spent a lot of time, each of us trying to pick our perfect pumpkin.
Grace is the only one holding the pumpkin she actually brought home! We tried to convince her to get a bigger one, or a different shaped one... but she kept going back to the first one saying "my baby pumpkin" :)
We had a couple of laughs while out in the patch. As Francis was trying to take my picture, he stepped backwards and fell over a pumpkin that was behind him. I wish I had thought to grab the camera back from him and take HIS picture! Later, as we were walking around, Grace wasn't watching where she was going and stepped right into a very soft pumpkin. She soaked her shoes, socks, and bottom of her pants! She wasn't too happy about it either :)
