Pumpkin Patch

Last year we went to Marengo Farms and had a good time. Well Caden being a year older loved it even more.

Here he is in the Pools filled with corn kernals, last year Caden hated that(texture issues) and this year jumped right in, made corn kernal angels, buried his legs and hands. We had to beg him to get out he loved it so much.







They also had a maze that Caden was leader, once again he loved that he could be the leader.




They had a bunch of animals that Caden was bashful at all to pet, Horses, sheep, chicken's, ducks. He wasn't scared of any of them. And was really excited to see the duck had eggs.




Then we went on a tractor ride. Very exciting just like his grandpas tractor.




The tractor to us to the pumpkin patch. and we luckily convinced Caden we'd get one at the store, we found out they hiked prices and were asking $8 a pumpkin.




End it all with chili, hot chocolate and hot dog. We had a Great time!!







After that we went Geocaching(definition here for those that don't know what it is)
Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets
Eric maps out Cache's along the route we took home. So we parked and started on a nature trail and then the woods. Caden has a blast just following his daddy and Macey was asleep the whole time in the snuggie. It was a good time.

Jensie just saw this post and said "Oh I loved that place. I liked to swim in the corn. Oh and I loved the maze. But most of all I liked the hayride..." (all said with a dreamy far off look). She is jealous. Looks like you had a blast!
