A trip to the punkin patch

Last weekend we went to Rader Family Farms with Grandma Marge. Claire will tell you that her favorite part of her day was the animals. She has even warmed up to the pigs!

She also enjoyed playing in the corn. They have transformed 2 government bins in to giant playbox filled with corn. They cut windows in the side so the big kids could watch from the outside.

Then she went on a catepillar ride. These were made out of plastic barrels with wheels pulled by a lawnmower.

They also have a huge slide that is made out of a huge field tile. Mommy walked up the hill with Claire but she didn't need my help to go down!

She also enjoyed the straw bale castle.

And the miniature soybean maze for the little tikes.

She also played for quite a while in the straw bale obstacle course. And LOVED jumping off the loading shoot in to the straw.

We jumped on the giant pillow. We lucked out that there were a lot of little kids and moms on with us instead of big crazy kids. But we still had a hard time staying on our feet!

Before we left we got our 2nd annual picture to see how much Claire had grown. She was exhausted by this point so it was a bit of a challenge.

And a family picture with the old blue truck.

Then, before we left, we ran in to a giant spider! Claire and daddy thought it was pretty cool!

As expected, we had a great time! We'll be back next year!
