It wouldn't be October without a trip to Galey Farms and the Pumpkin Patch. We took the bikes and trailer and packed some food and rode to the patch for some Sunday Family Fun! It was a pretty cold day but the 35 minute ride to the farm was warm while we were moving. Shay fell asleep and Finlay sang. We went with our friend Leah and her son Bodi along the Goose for most of the way.
Galey Farms has so much more than a pumpkin patch. This year it was particularly nice. There was some great live music and a dance performance (kids dressed in zombie dancing modern/jazz to thriller, etc.) under the tent. There was the petting zoo and the bouncy castles. Finlay was particularly excited about the train and the tractor. We had trouble fitting it all in. We never even got to the corn maze this year! And I love a good corn maze (especially one that features a sphinx).
A boy and his goat. Don't we have a photo of Tyler that is a lot like this?
Here he is on the tractor.
"It's bumpy Mama, hold on tight!"
Check out the different from last year to this year:
2012
2013
But, much like last year, the kid wanting nothing to do with pumpkins and only wanted the tractor.
Unlike Finlay, Seamus is happy to humour us with a baby-in-pumpkin-patch picture. Also, check out the difference from last year:
2012 (in belly)
2013 (in patch)
"Shay, what pumpkin should we get?"
Like I said, serious about the patch.
Shay-shay also loved the tractor.
While waiting in line for the train ride, Shay and I shared a 'mum-mum' rice rusk.
We play a fun game where he offers me his rusk, I take a nibble and say "yum, thanks Seamus!" and he proudly continues to eat.
It was a lovely day at the patch. Finlay has since played an imagination game that involves train rides and pumpkins. It's pretty cute. Seamus has since turned into a pumpkin and had a growth spurt of strawberry-blond hair. Happy October everyone - can't wait for Halloween!
