The Pumpkin Patch

Mimi, Eileen, Jack, Brooks, and I went to the pumpkin patch today, and we had a GREAT time!!!! It was a perfect day to be outside! We rode on a hay ride that took us around the farm stopping to see the deer, Zedonk (mix between a zebra and donkey...really), goats, donkeys, cows, catfish, and ducks. Each time we stopped, the driver fed the animals. Brooks was zoned into everything and took it all in. He stood up in the trailer putting his little hands on the rail watching and then bounced and clapped his hands in excitement. It was too cute! Jack loved seeing the animals, too. When we stopped at the cows, one of them had to go tee-tee. Well, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Jack was wondering if it was tee-tee or milk. When he figured which one it was, his response was, "Yuck!" Then, another little boy around his age yells, "We didn't have to see that!" Kids are so funny! After all the animals, we headed on to pick out our pumpkins. Brooks carefully walked through all the pumpkins patting them, trying to pick them up, and sitting on them. He finally found just the right one! I was disappointed that they didn't have any small enough for him to pick up, but he sure had a great time attempting! There was an area with a rope swing, a hay slide, and a hay maze for the kids to play in next to the patch. Brooks watched everyone playing on the swing and slide so intently, but it was the maze that he wanted to try. Finally, we got back on the trailer and headed back to the parking area. There were several places to take pictures, so we attempted to get a couple of these very active boys! We all had a blast!!!!

They were very interested in what the woman with the megaphone had to say!

Again, they are more interested in what the guide was saying...
















Brooks worked up an appetite while we were out and found his crackers...I think he got more on the floor than in his mouth!
But, the sweet boy helped me clean it up!
