Fun on the farm

A couple of weeks ago we were able to go to a apple orchard/pumpkin patch with a bunch of friends. There was so much to do that we stayed way longer than we should have. We all had a ton of fun. Lucas was constantly asking me "what is that?" once I told him he needed to know the next thing. Ned got to climb trees, and I got to eat some of the yummiest pumpkin donuts (which I usually do not like donuts). To make the day even better gas was dollar cheaper than here in Chicago and there was a Taco Bell on the way home. All in all a fun day.

Lucas walking around in the kid sized corn (barrel) maze

In the actual corn maze. Every time he saw a piece of corn on the ground he stopped to stare and ask me "what's that?"

Walking around in the real corn maze. It was muddy and tons of puddles which he insisted on stomping in every single one.

There was a little kids play area so Lucas got to ride his own tractor

Lucas feeding the goats which he loved. Every time he finished feeding them he would lick his hands. Oh so Gross!

Lucas and Daddy finding the perfect apple

We were able to pick apples and Lucas found one that he loved and would not let go he just kept gnawing on it.

Here we are with our apples. I am not sure why I am holding the bag of apples since I did not pick even one. I think that I am still traumatized by the apple tree we had in our backyard in Utah. We never picked them. We just waited till they fell on the ground and then we had to clean up all the rotten apples that were in our yard.

Some of Lucas's little buddies: Lucas, Bennett, Simon, and Aston. Not pictured was Reese and Hunter. This is the only pic I got with more than two kids sorry.

Lucas loving his pumpkins while still holding on to his apple.

Mmmm....

Lucas loved looking at all the pumpkins in the patch. As he is pointing he is saying"Oh, what's that?"

Driving a bigger tractor

Here's the group Us, Olivers, Strongs, Parishs(minus Saerome taking the picture). We are missing the Clives and the Crews who had already gone home.

We stayed too long. He fell asleep in the amount of time it took us to walk to the car.
