Little Man Sleeps through the Pumpkin Patch

This weekend, we returned to Showvaker's in Manchester Maryland for what is becoming a Vargas Family Tradition. In case you weren't aware, October is hands down Mom's favorite month of the year and she forces the family to take part in all things Autumn.

Elena was slightly frightened of the animals in the petting zoo. She was ok looking, but definitely wanted nothing to do with the petting part of the zoo. After hitting up the animals, we passed a wooden train play structure. This proved to be Elena's very favorite part of the day. I believe there was bribery involved to coerce her into moving on to different activities. She particularly liked the engine car. "Choo Choo".

Next we played in the corn bin. Think sandbox, substitute corn for sand. As you can see, Daniel was captivated. From there we took a bouncy bouncy hay ride through the tree farm. Elena had a nice picnic lunch on the hayride and Mom tried to keep Daniel from bouncing around too much.

Elena and Dad hit up the apply launching station and Mom and Daniel tried to stay away from swarming bees.

All in all, we had a wonderful afternoon, and made it home in time for Sunday afternoon football.
