Autumn Acres Pumpkin Patch

Jacob, Benjamin and I took a trip today to Autumn Acres Pumpkin Patch in Crossville. We went with the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group that I am in. All us Mommys and our kids went together and had a wonderful time. We went on the hayride to the pumpkin patch first. That was so fun! The boys loved riding on the wagon pulled by the tractor. Benjamin kept saying "Mommy....wook.......twactor". The boys had so much fun picking out their very own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. Benjamin calls his pumpkin a "twactor punkin" because he associates the whole thing with the tractor. For those of you who don't know....Benjamin absolutely loves tractors. He spots one everywhere we go. Needless to say, we have already washed the pumpkins off and put them on display on our front porch. They are so proud of them! Benjamin has already had to go out on the porch just to give his pumpkin a hug. So sweet!

When we were finished with the hayride, we went through the corn maze which was alot of fun. The boys loved running through the corn stalks on the paths that were cut out. We went on a maze that was not difficult at all and I still felt lost. LOL!!

The boys did many other fun things which consisted of but was not limited to playing on the playground, looking at the animals, and riding the barrel train. This train was home-made. It was made of cut-out plastic barrels which were hitched together and pulled by a 4 wheeler. I don't think it was the safest thing in the world but they loved it! We are definitely going to make this an annual event! I already can't wait till Autumn Acres 2009!
