Pumpkin Patch ~ 2012

This year we got to go to the pumpkin patch ON Henry's birthday.  It was the last weekend day we were going to be able to before John's surgery, so why not.  It's a pretty fun place to spend your birthday, after all!  We normally go to Ticonderoga Farms in Chantilly, but this year I was looking to do something a bit different, so we went out to Leesburg to Pumpkinville.  This place was so much better.  It was a little cheaper and had way more fun stuff for the kids to do.  The only thing they don't have that the other place did was the "pick your own pumpkin" thing from the pumpkin patch and that was fine.  I ended up getting them nicer pumpkins then they'd have gotten at the patch for less money at Giant.  Lol!

The kids had fun playing on the little jungle gyms they had, and Jacob watched the VERY funny magician put on a magic show.  They had quite a few hay slides that the kids rode down.  It was Henry's first year riding down one and he's still so small that he had to ride with someone.  Jacob rode with someone the first time, but after that he was good to go by himself.  So, I took Henry and Pap took Jacob.  We had a bit of a race, but I'm still not sure who won.  haha

Both the kids had fun on the moon bounces  Jacob even had some fun on the obstacle course moon bounce.   He was a total pro!

We did get to go on a hayride even though we weren't going to the pumpkin patch, and that was fun - they always are!  And, the kids ran through a hay maze.  

Jacob didn't want his face painted, so my mom and I stood in line with Henry, but of course after he had his done, Jacob decided he DID want his done.  So, later after John and I left with Henry, Jacob stayed with my parents and got his face painted too.

 

 And, the finished product ...

 
All those tears and it turned out so cute!

 

 

 One really awesome thing about Pumpkinville is the animal park they have. Here are some cute pictures of some of the animals at the Leesburg Animal Park ...

   

   

 I'd say it's safe to say that someone had a fun birthday day at the pumpkin patch this year!
