Pumpkinland!
The St. Louis EKC Fall Gettogether was at Thies Farm & Greenhouse, which in October is transformed into Pumpkinland. There were lots of firsts today. This was the kids’ first pumpkin patch, hay ride, pretzel and corn maze. On our way out there, we talked about the trees changing colors, and how later on, we will get snow and hopefully we will get enough snow we can build a snowman. I guess the kids are learning about snowmen at school because Aman asked if our snowman would have a carrot nose.
I definitely want to take the kids to Pumpkinland next year. There were so many things they can do. There was a big area set up with different mazes, slides, and swings, along with the hay ride. Across the little road, there were pony rides, face painting, concessions, and a country market. They had so much fun.
I’m just so amazed by how much more English they can speak every day. We are having small conversations now, one of which was at dinner tonight. I had grilled pork chops, and had that with roasted potatoes (that I bought at the country market) and steamed veggies. While eating I told the kids how happy it made me that they like just about everything I cook and they don’t mind eating stuff other than pizza and hamburgers. I told them that some kids only like that. They both told me that even though they like pizza a lot, if they ate it every day it would make their “tummy sick.”
