Anderson Farms - The Pumpkin Patch

What's fall with kids if you don't go to a pumpkin patch right? So Saturday afternoon we headed off with our friends The Jones family to Erie, CO in Northern Colorado which hosts a HUGE pumpkin patch. Rick and I weren't sure if it would be as great as Useugi Farms in Gilroy, but it was pretty dang good. It's a lot bigger and more stuff, but I do have a special place in my heart for Useugi:) Plus it doesn't have a train to ride on.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our trip. BTW, we take a tractor ride out to a real pumpkin patch. You actually have to pick your own pumpkins. Kind've cool, but it's harder to find good pumpkins that way.

On top of the hay bale maze - this was a blast for the kids.

Searching for pumpkins

Two little pumpkins for two little pumpkins.

All of us together picked out 5 pumpkins. 3 of them made it back to the farm:). The two in the above picture did not:(

All in all a fun day. We missed out on the corn maze, but there is a corn maze closer to home I plan to take the two younger boys to with our neighbors while all the preschool kids are on a fall break. Stay tuned....
