Visiting the Pumpkin Patch

Monday we finally made it to Tate Farms to visit the pumpkin patch. We attempted this trip the week before, and ended up with a broken down car on the side of the road. Then Little Bit got a double ear infection. But we made it there with our best buds....and boy did we have a great time!

The boys were all about the animals!

Owen was sure the pigs were a little chilly in the 90 degree weather, so there was only one thing to do...

cover them with hay of course! 

But the goats...the goats, may have been his favorite.

There was a sheep to pet

and baby chickens to watch.

Next, time to slide down the big slide. I think Owen's face says it all.

We played in the cotton

 and in the corn.

Then it was pumpkin picking time!

 Owen walked up to this pumpkin first thing and laid his claim on it. It now sits on our front porch.

 The farm was beautiful.

And these little boys were pretty handsome in their little overalls. 

So glad we could make this trip with our friends. I think we had talked about it since before they were born : )

Glad Daddy could go with us too since he will be doing a little traveling himself very soon.

All of the pumpkin picking was hard work...

but we made our final selection

weighed everything and everyone we were taking home

 and called it one successful trip to the pumpkin patch!
