Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today. Belle's school had gone on a field trip here last Wednesday and Gaga went with her on that, but this was our first family trip to the patch for this year. I love going here. We go every year and I love seeing how Belle still enjoys it so much. I hope she always remembers these trips and the trips to get the Christmas trees.

This trip it was very crowded! I had to basically follow someone to their car in order to get a wheel barrel from them and Brad had someone follow him to get ours when we were done with it.

But we still had a great time. We picked pumpkins first. Belle knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted two white ones, one for Jack and one for Sally. A green on for Oggie Boggie. A bluish one for Corpse Bride. One for Harlequin Demon, and... I forget what the last one was for. We're going to carve them closer to Halloween so I'm sure she'll tell me then.


They had a corn maze for the kids and of course the animals. They had chickens and ducks and two lamas and some Pygmy goats. The lamas sat with their backs to the crowd... obviously not in the mood for visitors. :) There was one little goat however that was more then happy to eat out of your hand all day. They have a little container of food you can get food for them from for a quarter. So Belle got to feed them which is always cute to watch.

She then played on the hay piles for awhile. There were some boys playing on there too and one said to the other "okay if a girl touches you then you are frozen!" Well Belle heard this and thought that sounded like great fun. So she proceeded to chase them around and tag them and watch them freeze.

All in all another great trip to the pumpkin patch!
