Jumbos Cosmic Cowboy Adventure

 

Every year I have to say our favorite way to celebrate the Fall is our annual trip to Jumbo's pumpkin patch/farm.  It is such a great way to get to measure Wyatt's growth and to enjoy the great outdoors in one of the most beautiful settings in all of Middletown.  A trip to Jumbos is certainly a welcome home and a great way for Mommy to show off the best parts of where she grew up.

 

This year we had our friends Amy, Ian, and Elena  join us on our trip out and our family Uncle John, Aunt Maggie, and Cousin William.  William was the oldest so all of the kids were in awe of everything he would do.  It was so great to hang out with everyone and get to do all the cool stuff Jumbos offers.

 

Here is Wyatt's 2012 Jumbos photo:

 

 

A big change from his 2011 picture, huh?  We def. had a lot of growing going on this year.

All those crazy kids (William, Elena, Wyatt, and Ian):

And how about these for some iconic cowboy photos:

 Wyatt has such an ease when he rides the horses.  I can't wait until he is old enough to take riding lessons because I know he would love to ride.  He just knows very naturally what to do on the horse and seems so peaceful when he rides.

 Ian coming back in from his ride.  He did a great job holding onto the horn and you can tell he loved riding the horse.

 Look at this little cowgirl!  Elena was great riding along and holding her hat. She is just showing that anything those boys can do she can do better!

 

Fun with faces:

 

Then on to conquering the giant mountain of hay!!

 The Toppers:

 

After a bunch of running all around on the cool toys and through the hay we ran up to catch the hay ride out to the Cosmic Corn Maze.  Man were we lucky we had Amy with us who is an educator becuase there were some tricky questions in the trivia clues but we were able to get the majority of them correct so we made it out of the maze in record time.  Here are the boys celebrating their success in the corn maze:

 

Jumbos has lots of running space too which the boys def. took advantage of and look at that gorgeous sky.

Heading up the hills and into the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins for 2012!

 I am pretty sure Ian and Wyatt are doing a square dance while they wait in line for their face painting:

Always a blast this years space adventure to Jumbos was awesome!!!  We were so glad to be able to share our traditions with our friends and Wyatt had such a great time getting to run all around the giant farm with his best friends.
