McConnell is really fabulous about their morale programs for families with deployed members. This month's event was centered around Applejack Pumpkin Patch just on the east side of Wichita. This was the first time for both Rachel and I at a pumpkin patch and it has set the standards very high. The normal admission price for the pumkin patch is $6, and they have all sorts of games, rides, slides, a corn maze, and of course a pumpkin patch. They also have some food concessions available. The Heart's Apart group got a wristband and voucher ticket which allowed us to get into the patch for free, a pumpkin each for free, adults got a $5 concession voucher and kids a $3 voucher. This was good enough for me to get a cheeseburger and drink and Rachel to get a hotdog and drink while we were there.
I got a stranger to take a picture of us at one of the "kodak moments" set ups. (it turned out good except for being crooked)
Here's a picture of the farm. Across the field they were doing tractor rides, but you had to be at least 2 to ride. They also had a place where you could shoot a pumpkin out of a cannon, shoot paintball shots and pumpkins, and some other fun things. Behind us (outside of the picture) was a big playground for the kids. Rachel ended up standing in this one spot sort of spinning around just looking at everything.
This was our first corn maze...
We made it out, without too many dead ends.
Rachel and the pumpkin patch. Obviously we're getting towards the end of the season, so it was slim picking in the "free pumpkin" lot.
Rachel and her pumpkin. Mine is the green one on the ground. I really like this picture, I just wish she had been looking at me.
Our first hayride - back to the car we go after a fun-filled, and free morning!
