Visiting the Pumpkin Patch

We took the kiddos to the pumpkin patch at the beginning of the month while my mom was visting. We met some friends there and had a great time.

Riley and Jonah enjoying the hay maze.

A hay ride to the petting zoo... (Noah, Mima, Jonah, Riley, Hunter, Darci, Graci)

This camel was looking for food!
Sheep and goats...
Jonah's pumpkin pick! Noah's pumpkin... he proceeded to drop the pumpkin twice after this picture, so we came home with a cracked pumpkin. It lasted about a week before it molded!
Hunter's pumpkin pick!
The hay ride after we had chosen our pumpkins... (Riley, Noah, Jonah, Andrea, Hunter, Graci, Darci)

Jonah loves his Mima- and Mima loves her Jonah! Since Noah's first pumpkin rotted, we told him we'd go back to pick out another one. So, this week we went back with some more friends...

Hannah, Pauline, Riley, Noah, Ben, Jonah, and Jason on the hayride.

This time all the older kids went for pony rides! Ben...

and Jonah.

The hungry camel was a favorite again.
Ben picked up carrots off of the ground to feed him- Noah though it was hilarious!
Hannah fed this donkey some carrots, too.
The goats were really checking out the kids. Jonah would bend down to look at them and say, "Hi there, Mama Goat, you are so stanky!" He sounded so southern, we couldn't stop laughing. I don't know where he learned the word "stanky," but it's too funny.
You may be wondering where the pictures are of the pumpkins from our second trip... well, it was dark by the time we made it out to the actual patch. We were literally feeling for the perfect pumpkin. I didn't think to pack flashlights, but both families came out with great pumpkins, regardless. I wouldn't recommend hunting for pumpkins in the dark with five kids, but we made a great memory!

Thanks Darci, Hunter, Riley, Graci, Mima, Pauline, Ben, Hannah, and Riley for some fun times!
