Harvest Festival

Pennington, Piper and I went to the Harvest Festival this afternoon at the Botanical Gardens. We all had a fabulous time. At the Harvest Festival we picked out pumpkins, walked through a mini corn maze, went on a hay ride and listened to some blue grass music.

Piper was really excited about her pumpkin. She insisted on holding it while she was sitting in the stroller. Both of the kids colored on their pumpkins when we got home. Below is a picture of Piper coloring her pumpkin.
Pennington ran through the mini corn maze while Piper was a bit hesitant. Piper and I never made it through the mini corn maze but Pennington sure did. It was a bit scary being the only parent with two young children in a corn maze. Good thing Pennington was able to figure his way out.
Pennington LOVED listening to the music. When we were up at the pumpkin patch area he looked at me and pointed to his ear to say that he could hear the music and wanted to go see it. He sat with his eyes glued on the band for at least 5 songs. Piper decided she should sit in Pennington's lap. Surprisingly he didn't mind. Probably because he was to focused on listening to the band.
There were several hollowed out trees where the pumpkin patch was. This is one of the hollowed out trees that Pennington walked through.
The last thing we did was go on the hay ride. Pennington really wanted to go on the hay ride. Every time it past us he would look at me like I want to do that. While I don't think this is the best picture of the three of us, we are all looking at the camera. The kids were very quiet on the hay ride but I do think they enjoyed it.

Overall, the kids were fairly well behaved. It is always a bit scary to venture out by yourself with the two little ones. I have to say that I do officially have a runner on my hands. Pennington did jet off a few times. One time on a full sprint which honestly is pretty fast for such a little guy. Oh the joys of a two year old boy.
