More Fun with friends

Friday we went to a Pumpkin Patch with friends.  When we arrived, a pig race was was about to begin.  Annika and I picked David Letterham for the winner, the odds were in our favor.  Right at the last second he pulled through and placed first in his heat.  Yahoo!

We then headed for the corn maze, which took us on many turns.  During the entire walk Annika complained she was either hungry, or wanting to get out, or go home.  By the end, I was done too.  We rushed right out, which was a good thing because Annika had to go potty.  I am glad she didn't complain about that while in the maze.  Parents potty training a kid understand my relief.   
After the corn maze and lunch, we set off to the children's "courtyard" -- a large play area.  Annika was a little hesitant to get on the cow train, but after watching it the first time, she couldn't wait her turn.  Annika chose Elsie to ride.  It was cute watching the faces of the kids on the train.  Sure delight!  



There was a huge corn pit for the kids to run around in and find rubber ducks.  At first, Annika and her friend were unsure walking around in the corn, but it didn't take long for them to relax and start jumping and falling into the corn.
I have to explain the picture below.  In the car, I sat between Annika and her friend, Aiden.  We read books, one being about elephants.  When trying to console babies in front of me (see picture below), Annika placed her thermos on her head and said, "Look!  I am an elephant!" 
I couldn't resist taking this picture.  My friend has twin boys who are 6 weeks older than Gavin. At the YMCA, the three are known as the triplets (we go regularly together).  Camden on the left began crying and it didn't take long for the other two to chime in.  Do I detect a little competition?  I am not sure who won.  They all have pretty good vocals. ha ha  And a side note, Brennen, in the middle, can beat anyone in a staring contest. I was amazed how long he could hold a gaze.
