Pumpkin Farm

We had a couple of nice (but windy) days in the middle of the WEEKS of continuous rain we've had lately, so we decided to visit a local pumpkin farm. We made the trip on a Monday to beat the crowds.......Yeah, right! There were 6 busloads of school kids there! Apparently their field trips were all postponed to the same day that we decided to visit. There was plenty of room to run around, so we still had a great time.

SIDE NOTE: For those of you in Indiana or anywhere up north, I know that you're laughing at our pumpkin patch. After living in Indy for almost 4 years and visiting a REAL pumpkin patch, I am laughing too.

First we got to feed the animals......



That's Pete and Gavin in the background checking out the goat on the "goat bridge".



Then, there were the crazy longhorns.........



Feeding the longhorn was the grossest thing I've done in a long time. Plus, you had to be sure to duck to avoid being hit in the face by his horns!



I like this picture, which I took from a safer, less disgusting distance.........



After checking out the animals, Gavin kicked the tires on the old red truck........

We went on a hayride.............

Picked out pumpkins from the pumpkin patch........

And ran through the tunnel in the hay bale maze for 30 minutes straight........

Emery was a little shy that day, but Gavin was loving it!

And finally, an attempt at a group picture with Dad........

We are expecting rain AGAIN tomorrow, but we've been squeezing in some fun fall activities!
