Clayton Pumpkin Farm

Sunday, October 21, 2007
The following morning we met the Greger family in Crockett and carpooled to the Clayton Pumpkin Farm.


Kai immediately took to playing a little tic-tac-toe,

and then walked through this haystack maze with Brennan. Following them was no easy task as I was forced to stoop over as it had a roof. In a few minutes my back was getting sore. Greg complained of the hay "dust" that could be seen when light filtered through it.

The boys then played in pools of lima beans. So this is where they all go, when no one cares to eat them- I certainly don't like to!

Daddy buries Kai.

And of course, I had to get my lima bean spa treatment also. The disadvantage I had was lima beans stuck to me under my clothes and in my underwear. Kai also had a load in his diaper when I had to do a poop change...what an interesting mix!

Then the boys took to rolling basketballs down the sewer tube.

Daddy and Kai pumped water down the funnel to assist the rubber duckies to the other end. Brennan retrieved it and pumped it back their way.

We rode the trackless train and had a tour of the pumpkin grounds.

Finally we settled down for a lunch picnic that Uncle Joel made consisting of deli meats, cheese, fruits, salads, and loaves of bread. Kai and Brennan had a great time chasing each other around on the grounds, while we kicked back and had our little feast. Thanks Greger family!
