Pumpkin Patchin' It

We have had two visits to two different little pumpkin patches in the area. Our first was at Remlinger with a lot of our PEPS friends and Julie and Samson. It was a pretty yucky and gross day, but the kids don't care at all. Lilah was thrilled to get the opportunity finally to wear her raincoat and rainboots. We got to ride in their little train and see a lot of animals and some pretty spooky and scary scarecrows and dummies dressed up as old time farm workers. I wouldn't want to go there in the dark for sure. We got to see some other animals, but Lilah thought the best part was sitting on the fake pig statue for a picture. Before we left she was one of only two of the kids who rode on a little ride that swung the kids around in a circle. She was a little leery at first but then loved it.

This guy was a little too friendly - Julie thought he might give Samson a little sneaky bite!

I swear they had fun on the train....just couldn't get a smile out of either of the girls for anything

Today we visiting a pumpkin farm just down the hill from our house with daddy. It was a nicer day, but still a little chilly and foggy out. We picked out a huge pumpkin for Lilah and she got to join the pumpkin for a wheelbarrow ride. Her favorite part though really was seeing the animals. They didn't have many - but a few will do for her. A few alpacas, goats and chickens. And the best part - we were minutes away from home so we didn't have to go far to pick out the perfect pumpkin!
