The first farm we went to was Pendleton's Country Market Farm, which also had a butterfly farm and other u-pick foods. We went on a tip from a parent at preschool and were not disappointed. It was much less crowded than Schaake's, which we will talk about later.
Both farms had a tractor ride to the not-so-far-away pumpkin patch. Cedric enjoyed this part, of course.
In the field Cedric picked out green pumpkins for himself and Clara and a large orange ones for Mommy and Daddy.
Clara slept the whole time, good girl.
We then stopped in their butterfly farm. They had a lot of butterflies, mostly Monarchs, which they tag and release. Kansas is a unique stopping point on the Monarch's migration path as the ones born here in the fall will make it all the way to Mexico for the winter. Cedric also went to the Monarch Watch open house, he is loving butterflies (and all other insects) right now!
Pendleton's also had a play yard, pumpkin chucking and a corn bath. Never had seen a corn bath before - Cedric was confused as well.
We decided to paint the green pumpkins since it was so early in the month. He really enjoyed decorating them for Halloween!
Cedric's preschool took a "field trip" to Schaake's pumpkin patch, the more popular patch in town. I'm not sure if they do much else other than pumpkins. I say "field trip" as I'm not sure it is a field trip if all the parents have to take their kids.
This patch also had a playspace and some animals (cows, ducks, chickens) and a hay bail maze. Cedric had the most fun playing with his friends :).
