But Rock Creek Farms, just on the other side of the road from our usual vegetative rendezvous, came through with huge fields covering the landscape with the bright orange gourd, some farm animals, a giant inflatable slide, and a mini kid size hay maze. All tons of fun.
See for yourself below!
Just after arriving in a vast field of orange, Hank picks the absolute smallest pumpkin he can find. He was later found chewing on this miniature pumpkin.
In case you could not see Henry's new pumpkin, here it is a little closer up
Sam, always a bit more introspective about his vegetables than Hank, finds a picture perfect pumpkin
As is typical for Hank, just walking around the farm field is never enough. Here Hank boards the Pumpkin Express
Again more introspective, Sammy begins a life-long relationship with another pumpkin
Off to the Giant Slide. Sam (peaking from under his arm) and Henry make their way up the slide
Hank hurls himself down the slide. Its hard to tell above but he is laughing his head off
Next stop was the kid-size hay maze. Never one to miss a chance for a pose Sammy shows he does have a goofy side while Hank climbs up onto the bale
Henry negotiates a large hay crevasse
Sammy displays his trademark excited "flapping" maneuver
Hank now confident in his ambulatory skills, strolls amongst the hay bales
A week or so ago Hank was traumatized when a sheep wrenched an ear of Indian corn from his hand. On Saturday Hank was still happy to feed some hay to a mini-horse.
This was a really fun day for the family. There is something relaxing about milling about in a farm field full of pumpkins. The kids sure like it. We came home with five HUGE pumpkins weighing in at probably over 100 pounds total. 5 bucks each!
I can't believe it is already Halloween, and the stores are already putting up Christmas stuff. This years has flown by...
