Pumpkin Farm!

We had a great time at Oakes Farm again this year. They expanded their "Back 40" area to include more activities for the kids. Dylan LOVED the kids corn maze and went through it with Dave multiple times. We also watched the staff shoot a pumpkin from the cannon, played in the bounce house, visited the petting zoo and went down the slides. It was a busy afternoon and we all had a great time. We even got a pumpkin!

Are we there yet?

Dylan found one!

See my stomach isn't that huge, if the pumpkin covers it up it can't be that big!

We found our pumpkin!

Dylan's favorite part, the corn maze!

Pumpkin Farm

Last Saturday we made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Farm. We went back to Oakes Farm after visiting a different farm last year. Oakes has lots to do, they have a "back 40" area with bounce houses, slides, a petting zoo, sand box, and more. It's $10 per person to get in to that area (includes the hay rack ride to get your pumpkin) and another $5 per pumpkin. I can see charging the kids to get into the back 40 area, but in my opinion it's a little much to be charging the adults when they aren't using the activities back there. Or maybe they could charge less for adults. It was $36 for my mom, Dylan and I for the back 40 area and 1 pumpkin, admission for family of four plus pumpkins for the kids would be over $50, that seems pretty expensive to me.

That being said, we did have a great time and the food prices are very reasonable. You can also bring your own food in which is nice. They had a huge selection of pumpkins, Dylan had fun trying to pick pumpkins up and choosing just the right one.
