On Sunday we returned to the Central Oregon Pumpkin Company - only this time as a family.We had a lot of fun this year since both kids could
walk and had an attention span of longer than 30 seconds. We hit the petting zoo, which was remarkably low on goats to pet. Then we got a caramel apple, yum. With dark chocolate chips on top. Double yum. Then was the train ride, the archery challenge, the pirate ship and slide, the beloved pumpkin canon (I missed hitting that beat up old car by "that" much) and finally the maze.

Katya to the archery challenge. She got five arrows and on her fourth hit a BULLSEYE. 
Right on! She is so cool.

Right on! She is so cool. After the archery we went to the pumpkin canon and I got to launch a cannon for the first time. I
loved it. What a feeling of power when that thing launches. I so wanted to see it splat all over that beater car. Next year for sure!

By this point Alexis became demon child. I had to forceably strap her into the stroller and ignore her screams and tantrum throwing for seemingly forever. Luckily the "thump" of the pumpkin canon drown out her screams. Even kettle corn wouldn't appease her. Then we got to the pumpkin patch to find our pumpkins. It
took for freakin' ever because all the crazy frost had caused a bunch of pumpkins to start rotting. Alexis asked nicely if she could walk so I let her out and she roamed the patch for about an hour trying to touch the yulky ones. She became so happy that she started randomly hugging Logan. It was pretty cute but Logan wasn't loving it. I'm thinking that if a gigantic garden is what makes her happy, we are all over that next Spring.

It was fun and after several hours we headed home. I wish I could say that they fell asleep on the way home, but they didn't. I think the caramel apple and kettle corn might have been to blame.

Oh well, at least you all had a good time! I would love to have a caramel apple too! I am impressed to learn that Katya is doing very well on her archery.
