We all had lots of fun! They had a sand pit with big tractor tires to play in. Jacob, Tyler, and I went down a big, bouncy slide. We took a hayride out to the patch and selected our pumpkins. Josh and I weren't even off the trailer before Jacob had already picked out his pumpkin. It's a small, green pumpkin, and was exactly what he wanted. We wandered around the patch looking for a small pumpkin for Tyler. Unfortunately, Tyler only wanted to stomp in the smashed and rotten pumpkins. Have you ever smelled a rotten pumpkin? That's what Tyler's shoes smelled like. And after I tried to wipe them with pumpkin leaves that brokes apart, that's what my hand smelled like. In the end, we found a good Tyler-sized pumpkin (small - not the size of Tyler) and got back on the hay ride to go back to the party. They also had a hay pile which was several bales of hay all piled up for the kids to climb up and tumble down. Our brave Jacob lead both of us through the hay bale maze, which touts a warning at the beginning of "Dark/Dead Ends". When they said dark, they weren't kidding. Once you got about 10 feet in, you couldn't see a thing. Imagine Josh and I on our hands and knees crawling through this hay maze. The hole was about three feet wide and tall. We were definitely more scared that Jacob. Then, we found the corn mazes. We went in the easiest and intermediate. After getting lost a few times, we decided we weren't ready for the hardest yet.
After all this, it was time for a (late) dinner at Bob Evans. We used our free kids coupons given to us at the pumpkin patch. Because we played so hard at the pumpkin patch, we all ate quite a bit, even Tyler.
They also had a pumpkin eating dinosaur. The boys both loved looking at it before they knew what it was. When it starting eating, Tyler decided he didn't like it as much, and Jacob wanted it to eat all the pumkins possible. You can see Jacob on Josh's shoulders in the video.
