Hee-Haw!

Last Friday we had some much needed family time. There is a place in Pleasant Grove called Hee-Haw farms. It's a fun pumpkin patch/farm/haunted house/awesome place to go for fall fun! They have a whole bunch of fun games for kids and all ages really! Unfortunately because of our crazy schedules we didn't get to go until later in the day. It was right before sunset that we got there and most of the kids stuff closes at dark. So needless to say we weren't there for a super long time. Aaron was sick with a cold too so he didn't seem to have a ton of fun. He says he did, but....actions speak louder than words....he tried.
Huge pumpkins! They had a guy carving one of them. It was incredible and I'm mad I didn't take a picture of it. Just picture awesome in your brain.

Sweet old truck.
I was expecting Kade to love this little ride...

...........but , he did not.
Then we went on a hayride, we were lucky enough to be the only ones on the ride at the time. Kade was fascinated by the tractor!

There was just too much for him to soak in. We couldn't get his attention almost the whole night!
Another attempt at a family photo.

Random floating pumpkin in a ditch.

Kade loves his dad. He thought this was so cool!

Then we walked out to the pumpkin patch. This was when it was starting to get really dark so we had to hurry because they had zero lights out there. It was cool though because you walk out into this huge sunflower field (which made me a little sad because non of the sunflowers had been harvested. what a waste.) and they had grown the pumpkins all throughout this field. You just go find a pumpkin and pick it off the vine. Kade loved this part but kept calling them basketballs....close.
Kade, checking out a pumpkin seed he found on the ground. I'm sad this picture is blurry because his face is incredible. If you click on the picture you can see it better.

He's pointing out the good ones.

The sunset was so pretty that night!
Since there wasn't much he could destroy I let Kade walk around by himself most of the night. He thought he was pretty awesome. This is Kade walking back to the main part of Hee-Haw from the pumpkin patch. (we also walked past a big corn field that they turned into a maze and that was also sad because a lot of the corn was still on the stalks and not harvested either. so sad.)




We took a break and waited for daddy to take the pumpkins to the car. Kade decided the best place to wait would be on this straw. He's sitting though you can't really tell.

This may have been Kade's very favorite part. The animals. He kept chasing the pigs and they'd squeal and then he'd laugh. Also, I wish you could see just how ginormous the pig in the top left is. HUGE!

Don't they look like they're having fun? Nope. Toward the end of the night they both got grouchier.

He thought that he'd be able to see us through the holes again. Hilarious! We finished off the night with caramel apples and hot chocolate. It was good.

That looks like a fun place! Don't be too sad about the corn. Usually they use field corn for the mazes. It grows really fast and tall, but it doesn't taste good. It's used as animal feed. Glad you got to have some family fun!

That place looks like fun! I can't believe how fast Kade is growing up! ... and YOU, I love your hair!

I also love the picture you took of the old truck with all the pumpkins on it, I could frame it!

Hope Aaron gets feeling better!

Looks like a fun afternoon. Kade is so big. I can't wait to see his how his personality is when you guys visit. By the way, your hair is really cute!

It looks like a cool place! Too bad some of the things didn't go as planned...

Fun! I went there too. I just did the maze though and it was night time and it was with a group of young single adults. Still fun, but very different than your experience.

Love Kade's eyes in your "attempted" family picture. Such a pretty color blue!

We're planning on going there this week to do the maze, but now I'm tempted to do everything. And I LOVE the picture of you and Kade being sad on the ride! Also how did you make such a cute baby? That kid kills me.
