Lyon Farms

So about a week ago we loaded up the kiddos and made the trek to Taft, Tn to Lyon Family Farms. We figured that since everyone goes to Tate Farms we would try a different pumpkin patch and I'm glad that we did. It's a fairly new pumpkin patch so it doesn't have all of the glitz and glam that Tate Farms has. It's really down to earth.

Of course there was the slides, the tire swings, the corn wagon, the corn maze, petting zoo and of course the pumpkin patch.

Brayden had a field day. He loved, loved, loved going down the slides. At first he wasn't too sure about the whole corn wagon thing but he eventually warmed up to it.

He successfully led all 4 of us through the corn maze. It took a little longer with a 16 month old leading the way but hey thats all in the fun of letting him do it :)

He was amazed to no end with the animals. He ran up to this sheep and just gave him a hug, scared the sheep half to death but other than that. He even fed them himself. Gosh, he is growing up so much on me.

Then it came time for the pumpkin picking.


We loaded up into the hayride, minus Aslynn's wheels for the day, and off we went through the bumpiest field I've ever been through, haha. Aslynn zonked out during the ride and thats how she spent the time we were in the patch.

As soon as Brayden got off the ride, off he went, and of course he picked his own pumpkin. And he then proceeded to pick sisters, which is really actually cool looking. And since he was having so much fun we let him pick our pumpkin as well.

My boy has good taste and high hopes let me tell you.

By the time we left we were all ready to crash and eat. Brayden of course had to try and help push the wagon out to the car and needless to say he didn't get very far in it and prefered to ride.
