The main event - PUMPKINS!

One of our favorite seasonal activities is to go to Walter's Pumpkin Patch in Burns. It's more than just a pumpkin patch though. We also having enjoy tanking, sliding on big slides, taking a train ride, going down big slides, going through a corn maze, swinging on a bagged rope, having little duck races, and much, much more!


Tanking is pretty simple....get in a tank on the water and paddle!

Our little grandson enjoys going all the way down this big slide!

The slide takes a lot longer to go up all the levels of netting and platforms. It's much more fun to come down!

There is a large gunny sack tied on a rope. Most of my grandkids jumped on the bag and swung out over the little river, with their Mom watching close by.

The train chugs by as my family is having a little duck race on the water tubes.

There are piled up hay bales to climb on, big puffy "pillows" to jump on, grain to play in, tube slides to go down and there will soon be some new things.

You can go into the big pumpkin! There are also buildings set up like an old town that you can go in.
