Yesterday Richard was home by 3pm, so we took the little ones out to the Plumper Pumpkin Patch! We had never been there, but it had been recommended to me by several people, so we decided to give it a try. It was a beautiful afternoon! Being a Monday, there was hardly anyone there, which was nice. They have two hay bale mazes, one is inside a big barn so its dark and spooky and has fun tunnels and a slide to go down. The kids enjoyed going through them over and over and over again! There were also several large pipe slides, a couple of bowling lanes and a water pump ducky float challenge, which Joseph loved. There were tons of photo opportunities, which I loved and there were lots of farm animals which Annalina LOVED, and Richard was not at work, which he really loved! While we were watching the baby calves(there were 7) the farmer came out to bottle feed them milk. He asked for helpers and Annalina and a couple of other kids were able to feed the cows. Annalina was in heaven! I didn't get photos of this but Richard did make a small video of it. It was fun to watch. She told the farmer she was going to be a veterinarian and he told her about all the animals she would need to learn about. She was thrilled to have such a fun conversation with the keeper of the animals!
Perhaps I need to invest in one of these?
There were four of these pumps set up next to each other. The kids had to pump as fast as they could to send the ducky down river to the trough at the end. Joseph had trouble at first, but after daddy showed him how to do it, he did it over and over and over again! The idea is to race them, but he was more than happy to just make the ducks go on his own!
