Our annual trip to the corn maze and pumpkin patch was on Friday, October 23. We usually meet Gabe's sister and have such a great time. This year, Gabe was off and went with us. Also, Gabe's parents were able to come as well. We had a grand adventure! We all went out for pizza. The place we went was really cute. It was called Pizza Madness. There were video games and such for the kids to play. They also had aliens sticking out of the wall and really cute murals all over. The kids really got a kick out of it. After lunch we headed for the corn maze and pumpkin patch.
This is just as we started in the corn maze. The corn was so tall. Sherri had been to the corn maze a couple of weeks before and said they could not find their way out. It was a good thing we had Gabe and Charles to help us navigate our way through. We were surprised that Charles' allergies didn't act up in the corn maze. It had snowed a couple of days before, so things were a little muddy.

When we were done in the corn maze, they gave us this wagon to go out in the fields and pick our pumpkins. Charles was the smart one and pulled the wagon while it was empty.
Jack took a turn pulling the wagon and Sherri jumped in. The kids thought this was so funny!

They had been covered with straw because of the freezing temperatures at night.

When we were done picking out our pumpkins, Michelle decided she was the strongest girl and could pull the wagon full of pumpkins. She did pretty good for about ten feet. Then she decided it was too hard.

When we were done, we took the pumpkins back to Sherri's and painted them. The kids were so intent and worked so hard on their pumpkins. It was a wonderful day had by all. We are already looking forward to next year. Thank you Aunt Sherri for making this a wonderful tradition!!
