Butler's Orchard, Part 1

Last weekend we went to Butler's Orchard for the Pumpkin Festival. It was great! The weather was perfect - sunny, cool, and crisp. They had a lot of wooden cut-outs for the kids to pose in and play with. Evan was quite curious about the large pumpkin...

Hmmm, "How Tall This Fall"? Almost 3 feet!

We ventured to the corn maze and had fun walking and exploring in the fields of corn.

What did Daddy find? Evan got a close-up view of Daddy shucking the corn.

Oooh, that was neat, Daddy! (Love this facial expression!)Wow! This corn is tall! (Again, we love this expression!)

Next was an adventure on the potato sack slide. Daddy and Evan waited in a LONG line but it was worth it!

Weee! Evan kept wanting to go on the slide again but he didn't want to wait in line. He tried to cut in line multiple times, but his Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let him. So to distract him, we went to the pumpkin chucker and saw pumpkins being shot out of a cannon at a old car and bullseye. One got close and splattered over everything! Evan loves to sit on our shoulders and now he thinks it's fun to lean back... Checking out the pumpkin cannon. (Look where Evan is holding on - Daddy's ears, again!)
Butler's Orchard has a lot of things for little ones to play with and in. Here is Evan walking through a huge pipe. He kept going back and forth and back and forth...They also have a "petting zoo" for the children. Evan saw the 3 little pigs (sleeping here). One of them awoke and came to the fence for some petting. Evan touched the pig and thought it was funny. He saw some chickens and hens (but no petting those guys - they'd peck his fingers off!). So we waved "hi" to them instead! Evan saw some sheep (aka "babas") also. Finally, he got to see two goats up close. How cute is this picture?! More to come later...we took a hayride to the pumpkin fields to pick out our perfect pumpkins! Check back soon!
