Each year we go to the same pumpkin farm near Stillwater. It is probably terribly overpriced but the kids have grown to love it and the fun traditions we partake in each year....so we keep going back.
The farm looks like it only open in the Fall for pumpkin season but I could be wrong. It is a large piece of acreage that houses a gigantic glass arboretum jam packed with pumpkins, wall to wall. It is the pumpkin jack pot. Outside there is a collection of painted wood characters with cut outs for your face, animals for petting and feeding and random spooky sculptures about. They offer a corn maze and hayride as well as food, face painting, jump houses and coin operated rides. I have pictures of the kids from each year we have gone in the wooden cutouts, some day I will have to line them all up to see how they have grown!
Paige is a natural..
Quinn, Not so much.
I did manage to get one good picture of him though.
On the other hand, Quinn loves the chickens!!! And feeding all of the animals.
Inside choosing the perfect pumpkins!
This was the only good one I got before Quinn realized Paige was touching him and he started hitting her. Ahhh, sibling love.
For some reason they love this ride. It just goes around and around...for about 1 minute. They have to ride it every year.
On the hayride!!! Always a fun time! The driver narrates and tells bad jokes while you ride through the corn maze and pumpkin fields all filled with Halloween characters.
Everyone needs a turn on the old tractor.
This year for Halloween Paige wanted to be a vampire and Quinn wanted to be a witch. I tried to paint Paige's face as shown on the face paints we bought and quickly realized that I was not good at it. At all. Oh well. The end result was pretty great and Paige was happy. In fact, she even won the costume contest at the YMCA for the scariest costume!!
We added the widow's peak and colored her hair black.
Quinn never did really get into a full costume.
He just kept saying, "Quinn be a witch and do magic!"
A sad attempt at a picture of the two of them...Paige does look pretty creepy though.
Happy Halloween!!!!!
