The Pumpkin Patch

We had a play day at Moore's Pumpkin Patch. Vera, Zoe and I had such a great time last year that we decided to go again this year with Zoe's favorite playmates "The moms and their boys".

Last year, Zoe was so little that we were not able to enjoy the rides. This year Zoe could enjoy the fun. Check out last year's blog post from 10/23/2006: A weekend of outings. She loved riding around in the wagon, with her buddies, Mackey, Enzo and Evan. Zoe would stand up in the wagon and bounce/dance to the music blasting from speakers everywhere. It was quite adorable.

Zoe LOVED the giant slide. She is a girl with the need for speed!! Both Zoe and Mackey laughed and smiled from ear to ear the whole way down! And although Enzo and Evan had serious looks on their faces on the first run, they both wanted to go down a second time! The kids also rode the jet ride, the train, and played on a kiddie bus.

It was a truly fun day - we're not sure who had more fun, the babes or the moms. (We'll say the babes had more fun, and "wink" knowing that carnival rides are a great excuse for us all to find the kid inside.) The only bummer for the day was that it was so late in the season, that there were no medium or small pumpkins left - only large fugly shaped ones. I think we were the only ones of our group to actually get a pumpkin, it is large, but not too fugly. Note to self, we should go earlier next year.

Here are some video highlights and a short slide show.
