Just Piddlin'

Just Piddlin' Farm is one of our fall faves.  It's only about 5 minutes from my parent's house, so we always tie in a visit with them when we're over that way.  The owners of the farm blare praise and worship music from the barn, and it just gives the happy time even more happiness.
 

The corn box is a hit for everyone. We did have a hard time with Canaan wanting to eat the corn, though. I don't know how many corn kernels I took away from him. Hadley would, truly, have been fine to have just played in the corn box and done nothing else.

We finally did coax her out of the corn and into the hay maze.  Although, she was a little scared of how dark it was in those corridors.  So Justin managed to crawl through the very narrow maze with her.
 The second time, yours truly, went with her.  Not gonna lie, there were a couple of corridors that I wasn't even willing to crawl through.  Picture total darkness with hay literally above, below, and beside you.  And then I started to think about mice being in the hay.  Surely not.....but I was still worried.
After our mice-free hay maze visit, we took a walk out to the pumpkin patch.  Hadley was enthralled with the John Deere tractor.  I guess the little boys at daycare must talk about them all the time, because she can identify a John Deere sign or tractor from a mile away.
 We were searching for the Great Stinson Pumpkin of 2013.  Let me just tell you, Miss Hadley gets really picky when it comes to picking her pumpkins.  Whew. 
 Canaan got so excited watching Hadley coming down the slide.  He just wanted to crawl up it, which is such a pet-peeve of mine.  Slides are for sliding down, right?  I'm such the rule follower.
 My two favorite boys.  Pretty cute, if I do say so myself. 
   These two pumpkins are not for sale; they are price-less.  We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for our annual Just Piddlin' visit.  We are so grateful to have access to such a wonderful farm and pumpkin patch.
