We went up to Collingwood to spend a weekend visiting with Grandpa and Oma. They live super close to the coolest pumpkin patch, so we all went over to check it out.
They had a goat; Dad loves goats. We aren't really too sure why Dad has such an affinity for goats, I'm a little bit leery of them myself.
They also had this super large tractor made out of straw. It had really cool horn and a moving steering wheel, I was pretty happy up there.
This is going to have to be a annual thing, in 2010 I was 3 pumpkins tall (thanks to my hat).
This was pretty fun. Grandpa and I were the only ones who really put their faces in the cut outs. In fact Grandpa put his so far in that he may have gotten a little bit stuck.
Setting off into the corn maze; I was up on Mom's shoulders to gain the advantage.
We had to find and collect stamps from a turkey, a bull, a sheep, and a chicken while in the maze – and find out way out. We were in and out of there with all four stamps really quickly; I think that we may have set a new Fernwoods Farms Market record.
After that, we headed out on a tractor ride through the pumpkin patch.
The ride was pretty cool, but it got especially exciting when we almost got stuck in a giant muddy mud puddle.
They had lots of things to do at the pumpkin patch. Oma beat Grandpa in mini putt, and here is Grandpa showing me how to race the duckies.
They also had this game where you tried to launch a ball into a hole in a fake log using a mallet and a lever; if you managed to do it you got a free pumpkin. Grandpa couldn't do it. Dad tried really hard, but wasn't able to get his ball in. Oma was way too powerful for this game and kept launching right over the entire apparatus.
Then Mom stepped up, she got her ball in on her second try.
Dad managed to get a picture of the winning shot. Mom is very proud of her major award. Thanks for such a great visit Grandpa and Oma. I can't wait to go again next year!
