Ralston's get lost....

I briefly mentioned in my last post about our activity full day to celebrate Seb's big 4 that we visited the pumpkin patch. Well, you didn't think for one minute that I'd let you get away without seeing a gazillion more pictures of pumpkins did you?? OF COURSE NOT!! Pumpkins gallore, Oh how I loved it! Hehehe! It wasn't just me that had fun, I'm pretty sure we all enjoyed our morning slipping over in the mud and selecting only the very finest orange specimens to come home with us. We got lost in a corn maze, yes. Actually lost. Don't think that just because you're an adult and think you're clever you can outsmart the corn maze! We couldn't.

A clue perhaps? Er, no. None of us were clever enough to think of leaving a trail of corn.

Can you spot Seb? He's not that tall by the way, Neil was lifting him up on his shoulders to see if he could spot the way out.

When we did eventually find our way out we had a wander around the pumpkin patch (technically not allowed until after you go on the hayride, naughty, naughty) and scoped out the best pumpkins to collect once we had a tractor to help us lug them back to the car.

Then it was time to hit the hayride! Yeee-haw! (I'm not sure why I think it'd necessary to talk like a cowboy in order to go on a hayride but it seemed fitting.)

Finally PUMPKIN SELECTION TIME!

Neil of course was forced to carry the biggest one I could find.

Once our Pumpkins were size checked and paid for, we loaded them into the car and just had enough time to check out the rest of the farm. We saw some emu's (but didn't stop there long because Neil's scared of Emu's), some very pretty looking corn and some cute, sleepy piggies before we headed off to our next birthday activity.

Did I forget to mention, I love pumpkins? :)
