Pumpkin Farm Field Trip

Oh, it's that time of year again -- time to head out to the pumpkin farm. It seems every year I find a better one than the year before; this year we went to Trabbic Pumpkin Farm in Michigan with Evan's preschool (Joel was at school and Ben was at work so they didn't get to join us). It was a wonderful place and the owner/farmer told all the children how he and his family get up every morning at 3:30 a.m. and pray for every visitor. Isn't that cool?Evan and Drew's favorite activity was playing in the hay maze -- they played in this thing for over an hour! Then I spent an hour digging hay out of sweatshirts and shoes.
The boys also loved the pumpkin train -- isn't this the funniest looking thing? When the train driver told me the pumpkin spins while the train moves forward, I decided moms aren't allowed on the train, only kids. Ugh!
We also enjoyed seeing lots of animals, picking some field corn and warming up with hot cider. If you're looking for a great pumpkin farm (or just for a fun way to spend an afternoon) I'd highly recommend this place.
