My Lil' Punkins

On Wednesday we took the kids to a pumpkin patch for a hayride and to pick some pumpkins. Unfortunately, the orchard only had a few pumpkins left and they were pretty small. While running some errands, we found a little harvest fun in an empty parking lot and decided to go there. There were haystacks and pumpkins everywhere along with rides, yummy snacks, and blowup slides. We bought tickets and the kids had a great time. We really miss the Hondo Corn Maze in Texas (it was the best) but at least there was a little something in Vegas.

The best activity of the day was bungee jumping. There was a trampoline on the ground and the kids would stand on it while getting harnessed and a winch would pull the kids up and they would jump on the trampoline and fly up into the air. The ride operator actually had to grab their legs and pull them down because their feet couldn't touch the trampoline. Clark went first and screamed the whole time. He had a blast. Katelyn and Jacob couldn't decide if they wanted to go or not so while we were discussing it with them we didn't notice Carlee had climbed up the haystacks onto the trampoline and stood there ready to be hooked up. When we noticed her standing there patiently we asked if she could go and he said yes so there she went. I was laughing so hard. I don't think she knew what she was getting into but she wasn't scared at all, even when that stranger put her into the harness. He jumped her up a couple of times and it did scare her so he swung her back and forth and she kept saying, "Whee! No jump! I swing!" She had a ball too. That did it for Kate and Jake. They couldn't let their little baby sister go and not them so they were hooked up and had a great time. Jake went flying the last couple of times because we told him to be brave and do a "big one." He was screaming and kicking his legs. We just stood there laughing. I think we found our new torture device. It was fun.
