Chunkin our Pumpkin!

(Dated November 5, 2011)

I found out about a pumpkin chunkin celebration that they have at Cherry Crest Farms every year and since we had a few pumpkins to chunk we decided to check it out.

This farm was more like a red neck amusement park.  They had giant slides down the side of the hills, a huge bubble on the ground for the kids to jump on, a corn maze and so many other things to do in addition to the pumpkin destruction.

We had a lot of fun until Ayden got caught in a corn tunnel maze.  They had a bunch of hay bales stacked and made into rooms with tunnels with air holes throughout,  I guess Ayden tried to slip through an air hole and got stuck.  Fortunately some little boy saw Ayden down in the hole crying and went for help.  When he said there was a little boy stuck, I had a gut feeling it may be Ayden and sent Sean in to check on him.  Yep!  It was Ayden and luckily Sean was able to pull him free.  Ayden was a little scratched up but otherwise made it out ok.  It was a scary moment for Ayden and for Mom!  

Ayden excited and ready to destroy our pumpkins!
