Pumpkin Patch

Took a little trip to the P-patch with the kiddos. They had a great time in the Hay Maze, on the tractor-driven hayride, but mostly in the Corn Pit. The corn pit, for those who have never seen one, is like a ball pit (at McDonald's or Chuck E. Cheese or wherever), but instead of balls, it is full of dried corn kernels. Seriously. Five kabillion tiny corn kernels. They had a blast!


And Farmer JT (our tractor/hay-ride driver) had a little song with hand motions to keep kids sitting that I think I will have to use at home as well:

This is the hammer (Fist pounding on palm of other hand)
This is the nail (Pointer Finger tapping in the palm of other hand)
When the tractor is a'rollin (Lasso motion in the air above your head)
Keep your bottom on the bale. Thanks, Farmer JT!


And thanks to Ashley for the great photos!
