Papa's Pumpkin Patch 2013

Last Saturday we went to Papa's Pumpkin Patch, north of Newton, KS.  This is the patch that we have gone to for the last three years.  It is family friendly, has tons of things for kids to enjoy doing, and is very affordable.  There is no admission charge.  A local band out of Newton, The Book of JEBB, was playing when we arrived.  They played bluegrass and folk music for all to enjoy.
The big white slide is always a favorite for our girls!  This year Phoebe decided she was going to go down the slide by herself because she is big... And she did go down the slide by herself... over and over.  

Silas tried the slide a few times too,  with Daddy and Mommy.  I am not sure that he liked it... each time he went down on my lap he grabbed onto my arms very tightly.

Silas ~ 14 months old
Phoebe ~ 3 1/2 years old
Sarah ~ 6 years old
Measuring to see how big they each are...
Silas really liked riding in the pumpkin wagon.  Each time we tried to put him into his stroller he would yell and cry, but in the pumpkin wagon he was happy.

Phoebe and Sarah both enjoyed playing on some fun old farm equipment turned into a play area for kids.
Out in the pumpkin patch looking all around for the best pumpkin....

Phoebe helped cut the one we picked.

Sarah liked picking these small pumpkins out of the field.  She especially liked the little striped pumpkins!
It was a good day. Perfect weather.  I love to spend time with my husband and my children all together.  Thank you to Sarah for taking the picture below of Eric and me.  (She is getting better and better at taking pictures and getting us both in the picture!)
