Pumpkin Patch part 1

We took the boys to two pumpkin patches and had a great time with our cousins. The first one we went to was at Estrada Farms. They advertised that they had a bounce house, train ride, hay maze, corn box and a pumpkin patch. What they forgot to add was that they were very small! Small bounce house, small hay maze and a VERY small pumpkin patch. I'm glad we found half off coupons on CityDeals.com otherwise I would have been pretty mad that I paid full price. The kids had a blast so that's all that really matters. The kids spent very little time in the bounce house which surprised me because that's usually Bransons favorite thing. The hay maze was a big hit with the little kids. Even thought it was small those little guys still got turned around and couldn't find the exit. It was pretty fun to watch.


The train ride was also a lot of fun for the kids. I'm not sure why they called it a train ride because it was a guy on a four wheeler pulling six carts through a bumpy garden. The kids LOVED it.....I thought it would be fun to take Brecken and boy did I regret it! There's something about a bony bottom, a wooden seat and LOTS of bumps that made this "train" ride not so enjoyable!


Next up was the corn box. It's basically a big sandbox but instead of sand it was filled with corn. We were told the kids could dig for buried treasures but it was pretty picked through and the kids didn't find much. They still had a ton of fun burying each other and filling buckets full of corn. It took Brecken awhile to get into the corn but once he got use to it he didn't want to leave!


Brecken had a hard time getting out of the corn. Everytime he moved he kept sinking more and more into the corn..it was pretty funny to watch! Once he got out he found a broom and decided to help clean up the mess.....he's such a big helper!

Once we were done at Estrada Farms we decided to go to our favorite pumpkin patch out in Riverton, UT which happens to be right down the street from our cousins house. We have been going there every year since Branson was a baby. We love the variety of pumpkins, free corn maze, little wheelbarrows and the old tractors that we can take pictures on. This year it was bigger and better then ever! Pumpkin Patch part 2 will have all the details plus a lot more picture!
