Pumpkin Patch

Our two pumpkins Daddy & Addie before we started our day
Saturday we headed out to Lyon Family Farms with Skyler, Ashley, & Maclane. Even though it felt really warm out at home, it was so cold out on the farm. Of course we didn't bring jackets, so we all had runny noses by the end of the trip.

Addie & Maclane are 7 months apart We had so much fun! They had a few slides, Addie liked the smaller slides (we went down with her) so we decided to try the big slide with her. She came out with eyes the size of saucers but didn't cry or act upset-just suprised.

Me & Addie at the top of the slideAddie & Jarom at the top of the big slideNext we went to the corn crib and Addie wasn't too keen on it once I told her she couldn't eat the corn. We took a ride around the farm in the cow train (Jarom and Skyler couldn't fit into the train) and then we went to visit the animals. Addie was fine as long as she was far enough away from the animals but when Jarom tried to get her closer she would hide. Maclane loved it though and made all of the appropriate animal sounds.

Addie trying to escape when the sheep got too close! After all the stink we could handle in the animal area we went on the ride out to the pumpkin patch. Addie enjoyed this more than anything because we finally got a few smiles out of her despite the cold wind and runny noses.

Brrr... it was cold!We searched and searched and finally found two pumpkins to pick. By this time we were thoroughly frozen and decided to head home. We had a great dinner at the Lee's and the girls played together while we talked. We had a blast and look forward to next year when Addie can run around and pick her own pumpkin!

What a precious black cat! It is pretty freezing out here on our land, I think it must be the wide open spaces that let the wind make it miserable, glad you all survived, grin.

Noah was 6 mos old when we took him last year but he loved the corn crib. Chris and I went today and he marched all over Tate Farms like he owned the place so you guys will have a blast next year. I love her outfit. So cute.
