The pumpkin patching, that is! It's just the start of pumpkin patch season, but I don't trust October weather, so we seized the moment and went on Saturday. Kelkenberg Farm is not far from our house, and it was great! The kids especially enjoyed the pony rides, the hay ride, and the straw maze. We thought it was cool that the hay ride went to an actual pumpkin patch -- although the fact that pumpkin vines have prickles was an unexpected surprise! Of course the boys wanted to pick out the biggest pumpkins they could (and why not, since it's included in the admission fee), and they had fun washing them off, too. There was an opportunity to pet farm animals (which the boys didn't much care about), rubber duck races with an old-fashioned pump, and getting to make their own rope (including picking the colors, which the boys loved). All in all, a fantastic afternoon!
(Oh, and Mike's favorite? The sugar and cinnamon donuts!)
