The Pumpkin Patch

It had been rainy and yucky here for a week and then there was an amazing day when the sun came out--for two days in a row.  So Mom hurried us off to a pumpkin patch on the second morning so that I could get back in time for PM school.  It was perfect because it was sunny AND dry since it hadn't rained the day before.  We went to Thomasson Family Farm.  Get ready for lots of pictures!

I got to milk a cow and then I sat on a horse and tried to rope a cow.  Those ropes are kind of heavy and hard to swing.

Sydney sat on a horse too, but she didn't do any roping.

I pumped some water so my duck could when a race.  That was hard.  Sure am glad I don't have to do that to get water at home!

Down a slide:

Riding a toy:

The corn box was the best!  It was just a giant box filled with dry corn to play in!

Making a corn angel:

Sydney had a tough time walking in it at first, so she practiced a bit while I buried my legs.

Jumping off a hay bale:

More fun:

Sydney was too small to get up the bales herself, so I had to help her.

I wish I could have stayed in that thing the whole time we were there.  But there were some school kids on a field trip there, and when they got to the corn box it was really crowded, so we got out.

Farmer Ty:

Farmer Syd (who wouldn't look directly at the camera):

Riding on the tractor train:

After playing lots, we finally headed out to the field to find pumpkins:

I chose this nice big one and even helped push the pumpkins back to the car.

You'll notice we don't have any cute traditional pumpkin patch pictures of me and Sydney sitting on a bale of hay or on a pile of pumpkins.  Blame Sydney.  That girl won't stay still for pictures and if you ask her to pose for a picture in any way, she just says, "no."

We go to eat lunch at the farm before heading home and Mom got me to school right on time.  I had soooooo much fun.  Can't wait to go back next year!
