It's a Great Day for Pumpkin Pickin'

Halloween is only two weeks away ya'll, and we had yet to get our pumpkin. So -yesterday we headed out to Honeysuckle Farm. It. was. a blast. There was sooooo much to do. My family and our good friends (and neighbors came too).

Here's our little pumpkin at the entrance to the farm
singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider"

and pattycake

oh, I could just eat him up!!!

there's a little bit of glare on this one, but I liked all the pumpkins in it

just some of the stuff to do (we didn't get to it all)

quick family shot

There was a gigantic playground with a slide like a spider, tire swings, see saws, sand pit, and more. Jacob liked the swings best of all.

Next, we took a tour of the petting zoo. J had a blast looking at/petting all the animals.

feeding the goats

milking, yes milking the cow - hilar!!!

best pic I could get of J and his Coach

this is the Corn Popper

it's like a giant pillow-like trampoline

J had a hard time understanding taking turns with the other kids

our neighbors

we had a hard time telling who liked it more

taking a ride on the pedal car

After all that playing we were all getting hungry. We had a picnic. The farm had tons of picnic tables and a little cafe with burgers, hot dogs, and homemade butters and jams.

And what's a pumpkin patch without the pumpkin?.

so many to choose from

I just can't decide

hmmmm...what happens if I throw it?

what does it taste like?

just observing....like his perfectionist momma gotta get the perfect one!

I found it!!

Good job buddy. That's a great one!!

What a great way to spend a lovely fall day!! Little man was sooooo tired we didn't even make it out of the parking lot before he was asleep. Sweet thang!!

Last night we carved our big pumpkin that Jacob helped picked out. Boy, was that fun. Pics to come.....
