Pumpkin Patch

The week before Halloween we gathered a few friends and headed down to Thomasson Family Farms in Enumclaw. We went to the same farm last year but this year Benjamin was old enough to enjoy it. It doesn't have the same amusement park feel that some of the other pumpkin farms do but rather a down to earth, family run farm. There were rubber duckey races with old fashioned water pumps, Gertie the cow that the kids could pretend to milk (Josie loved milking the cow. Of course, her father gave her a bit of reality telling her that getting up everyday at 6 AM to milk a real cow is not fun at all... thanks, Marty :) and the beloved corn pit.

They even had "horses" that kids could ride and lasso a calf. The three girls take their turns... ride 'em cowgirls!

The corn pit was probably everyone's favorite.


Our new fun friends, Henry and Linda.


Burying body parts was a big hit in the pit. Linda burying Benjamin's feet.

"Where are your feet, Benjamin?"

And finally out to the pumpkins!
