Applejack

I have been trying to get us to the pumpkin patch for a couple weeks now. We went a couple years ago with my brother and his family to the Applejack Pumpkin Patch. We had a lot of fun going, it ended up being a little chilly and wet that day and Ardon was too little to do many of the activities. Since Ardon is bigger now and it was so nice out today I managed to get everyone together and we headed out. Two of Bronze's sisters came with us so it was even more fun with a bigger group.
.
They had so many things to do there this year and I took a ton of pictures. I have narrowed it down a lot for this post but be prepared, there are still quite a few.
.
The four of us in the pumpkin bus!
.
Animal farm, the animals were gentle enough for the kids to pet.
.

Elee liked to look but didn't care for touching!
.
Going for a ride around the track.
.
My pumpkins;-)
.
The pumpkin/gourd launching station.
.
Ardon thought it was so neat that he could do it himself!
.
Then we went through the corn maize.
.
It was a bumpy ride!
.
Stormi took the 'secret' path, it didn't work out so well.
.
There was a great big air mat/pillow to jump on.
.
Ardon made the big climb uphill for the giant slide.
.
He didn't really want to slide down the first time but once he did he didn't want to stop!
.
Bronze even took Elee down the slide.
.
We did the zip-line.
.
A hay fort was in one area, it was a lot of fun to climb on.
.
Some even used it to go air born.
.
It made for some great shots.
.
Super dad!
.
Air born Elee!
.
Ardon and Heaven went on a tractor pull/train ride.
.
Off they went!
.
We ate a funnel cake Ardon won by hitting the target at the gourd launch.
.
Then we were off the the pumpkin patch.
.
The kids measured themselves against the pumpkin chart.
.
I tried and tried to keep stuff on Elee's feet but she absolutely refuses to leave her socks and shoes on.
.

The kids were so worn out from all the excitement that they couldn't stay awake on the drive home! We had so much fun and I would definitely recommend the Applejack Pumpkin Patch if you are looking for a place for fun fall festivities. They are very family friendly and made our visit a blast!
