StoneyCreek



 We have been busy!  We have gotten Jayke's Halloween costume, we have gone to see two different Halloween movies.  ParaNorman and Hotel Transylvania (with friends from soccer) and now we have made a trip to the pumpkin patch.  This may have been the coolest pumpkin patch ever too.  It is in Noblesville near my Dad's house and I can't believe I've didn't know about it before now!  It is called  Stoney Creek Farm.

I only discovered it because I was looking for one near one of our soccer games.  I'm glad I did...I think we may have to go back to this one every year.



The pumpkin vines grow in through the Christmas trees and even up around them in places.  It was really almost eerie in places.


You had to take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch...here is Jayke with his blue slushie.  A little cold for slushies but he HAD to have one.  Bobby and I opted for the warm apple cider instead.  We really wanted an apple slushie but decided to go for warmth instead of yummy.  The cider was good too.  They had all kinds of food there, tenderloins, elephant ears, and all the wonderful artery clogging food you would normally find at a fair.  We passed on the eats.


You will notice a pattern in these pics.  This is only a select few but it you pay attention you will notice that almost every pic has Jayke with his slushie straw in his mouth...OR...showing his blue teeth from the slushie.







I had to make him take the straw out of his mouth for this picture.  He found his pumpkin and is guarding it well.


Straw in mouth...


Tons of activities for kids.  There was a corn cob cannon, which Jayke tried.  A hay stack maze, pony rides, pedal carts you could rid around a track.  A hay stack to climb, blow up, mazes, and even a zip line.



This was a big pipe built into the side of a hill that you could go down.  He was a little worried about this. Kept asking how fast it would go.  On the way down there were a couple of bumps.  He was very quiet but then I heard...ouch....ouch....before he came out the other end.  LOL...


There was a mini petting zoo with rabbits, donkeys, goats, ducks, and chickens.  Jayke was enjoying the animals until THIS goad sneezed in his face.  He was not impressed...at all.  I was thoroughly amused.

I can check this off my Halloween bucket list.  Only a couple more things left before the big day!  Pumpkin carving pics coming soon as well as Jayke's costume pictures.  I've already taken them but I'm not posting them until Halloween.  The graveyard is back up out front and we added some things this year.  Pics of that to come as well.  I'm also going to attempt to MAKE Zoey a Halloween costume.  THAT could be interesting!
