On Saturday, October 16th, we took Carter to Oakes Farm in Corryton. We hadn't been there in several years so we really didn't know what to expect other than the corn maze and pumpkin patch. Oh my, was there so, so much more! We spent 3 hours letting Carter explore all they had to offer. The weather was absolutely perfect and Carter surpassed our expectations! Waiting in line for 30 minutes was well worth it, especially since the people in line as we were leaving had been waiting for over an hour! We can't wait to carve our pumpkin and set it out on the porch for trick-or-treaters!
As soon as Carter spotted a pumpkin, he tried to pick it up! He gave this one all his might but it wouldn't budge! 
He didn't know which way to run first! 
He finally found a little pumpkin that he carried around most of the time we were at the pumpkin patch. We debated letting him keep it since he choose that pumpkin but when we got a hold of it, we realized it had a split in the bottom and would soon be rotting! ICK! 
Carter and his little pumpkin! 
He had so much fun climbing on all the pumpkins and running from one to the next! 
Our little man looking all grown up! 
Since we had him sit on the pumpkins for a few pictures, he started testing them all out... with his bottom! 
We sat up front on the hayride back to the main farm area. He LOVED to watch the tractor wheels! 
Courtney took him down the slide the 1st time to see how he would react... he had a BLAST...
so Joe sent Carter down by himself the next time!
Joe took Carter down the enclosed slide since it was a little more scary! 
Oakes Farm had a giant balloon pillow that you could jump on so Joe and Carter tried it out. It was a short experience because after a few jumps Carter was over it! 
Carter loved the kiddie corn maze! He ran the entire way through it! 
Before we ventured into the actual corn maze, we took a pit stop for lunch and found this sign. We thought it was so funny how still Carter stood by it. (side note: Oakes Farm was covered with sticks and Carter had to touch, pick up, carry, hand out to others as many sticks as his little hands could hold!) 
Ready for some corn maze fun!
