One gorgeous, sunny, Sunday afternoon, we took the family to the Murray Family Farms annual Pumpkin Patch. It's about a 45 minute drive from our house.
It has been a few years since we have been here and it has changed a lot.
One of the first things the kids had to play in was the corn kernels.
Briggor decided to do "corn angels" instead of "snow angels"!!! HAHA
Also, his brother and sisters decided to bury him in corn kernels.
The Giant Jumping Pillow is exactly what it is.....
It's a huge blown up jumpy which has been set into the ground.
See the smiling faces! Even the teenagers loved it! The only downside was
when Briggor fell to his belly on the "pillow" while the other
kids kept jumping. Briggor couldn't get up. They kept bouncing him and he kept hitting
his face on the "pillow". He started to cry because he couldn't make them
stop. Mark and I are yelling......roll off, roll off!!
We all were laughing except Briggor!
He finally figured out that rolling off was the best option.
Sisters!
The next event of the day was corn cob shooting!
Yes, an air gun that shoots corn cobs!
Our kids were all into that......
Mark bet the kids if they hit a target he would buy
them a burger!
The winner of the day was:
Megan
She hit the target 4 Times!
Briggor in the tomato maze!

We enjoyed rooting for our favorite dog or hog!
In the dog race, Megan won a blue ribbon for her dog.
In the hog race, Bud won a blue ribbon for his hog and
his ticket was picked for a t-shirt! :)

All in all, the Sunday afternoon with the family was fantastic!
We ended up being there for 3 hours!
