Today we took Julia out to Basse's Farm in Colgate WI to show her our yearly tradition. It was a sunny day but the wind was cool. We first got on the tractor hayride out to the fields to find that huge perfect pumkin. We have always walked wayyyy out to the outer parts of the fields to find larger pumpkins and the trick is carrying them back. I really do not know what Julia thought of the whole thing. She had this blank look on her face the entire trip out and back. I could say she was in awe but I have no idea. We did find some really nice pumpkins and Julia found a little one that she can decorate. John and Evan went into the corn maze which has a yearly theme and the aerial view this year was Mario from Mario Brothers. There are questions you have to answer about Mario and get them right to head in the right direction and get out of the maze....they made it! Julia and I took a ride around the pond on the train and tried the moonwalk although she was a little small for the moonwalk...she still had fun. Her favorite was the petting zoo with the Llamas and the slide. She loved the apple cider slushies!!! We ended the day by standing in line for the pumpkin launcher since Evan and John had to do this! For a dollar you can launch a small pumkin out of a cannon that is air compressed and gas generated and it has to land inside this large metal pumkins eyes nose or mouth!!! Julia jumped everytime the launcher went off...it sounded like fireworks being set off. She must think she has a pretty crazy family!!! Those crazy Americans!!!lol I think we will carve them next weekend since they rot pretty quickly if we carve them too early.
Cute pumpkin patch pictures!
