The Pumpkin Patch

Yes...I know this post is long overdue!
I love the pumpkin patch.
Maybe it is because my birthday is on Halloween, but I just have an affinity to them. Bates Nut Farm has a GREAT one (and it is just down the street). So....
we went 3 times this year!
I'm pretty sure Bennett enjoys them too!

The first trip was with Grandma when she was down visiting

Our second trip was a field trip with my MOPS group.
We started off with a tractor ride
Bennett kept buzzing his lips all day (his way of saying, "Look! There's a tractor!")

Darcy & Jolie, Bennett & me, Kieran & Lorna

The kids were pretty into the pumpkins
Kieran just sat & ate a snack, Bennett sat & climbed on them, Jolie wandered all over to find the perfect one

Then we did a straw maze. Jolie took the lead while Kieran & Bennett tried to catch up

Buds

Our third trip was with Luke

This time we fed the animals
Bennett got a kick out of the sheep & goats nibbling on his hand

This trip we actually bought pumpkins

"I want this one...it is my size."

"Look! I look like Mama!"

Home we go to carve pumpkins
