Pumpkin Patch

Brian, Colin and I headed to a nearby pumpkin patch last week. We weren't sure how Colin was going to take it, but of course, he had a great time. This pumpkin patch had it all, a petting zoo, pig races, a train, hayrack rides out to the pumpkin patches, several areas for photo ops, etc. Colin still just LOVES animals, so we didn't make it past the petting zoo. That was fine with us, we had spent enough time there, but Colin just had a blast feeding the pets.

It was a beautiful day, around 80 degrees, a little breeze. We had a wonderful time!

Colin feeding the goats. We had to make sure Colin had a "flat, open hand" like the signs said. His little pudgy hand had a hard time getting completely open, but he did well.

This guy just loved Colin.

Definitely, Cute as a pumpkin!

There was one particular Pygmy goat that Colin adored. It was really funny too, cause he was this big, odd looking white goat with a long beard and horns. I thought for sure he would love the cute little baby goats, but no, he thought this guy was the best.

Colin showing off the piggie! Oh, and of course, pointing with his MIDDLE finger on his right hand. This kid is funny. He points with his pointer finger on his left hand, then uses his middle on his right hand. We are working on that...not exactly the politically correct way to point!

Mr. Ed!!

And this little piggie went Wee, Wee, Wee, Wee all the way home!

This was when I had to get after Colin a bit. He was trying to feed the chickens little pebbles he found on the ground. He got confused about needing to feed the animals the special food we bought rather than random things he found on the ground!

We had a blast at the sound station. This is where there were pots and pans strung along a chain and they had various items around for the kids to make some noise! Colin just loved it!

And finally, Colin just loves to pick up rocks and stones. He could've spent just as much time here at this rock pile as he spent anywhere else. We had to pull him away, kicking and screaming!

A good family picture on our way out the door. What a fun afternoon!
