First, we all went on a hayride out to a real pumpkin patch and picked out a pumpkin. Owen picked a small one, but they had some rather large ones that were really pretty. Before we left the patch, I noticed Owen doing the "tinkle dance," so he did what any little boy would do and took care of business amidst the orange orbs. Jacob's comment was, "I hope nobody picks a wet pumpkin!" You know the saying, "Don't eat yellow snow"? Well, may I submit, "Don't pick a wet pumpkin"? I'm not sure it will catch on, but fair warning for all you pumpkin pickers out there...
The highlight of Owen's day was playing in the BIG sandbox..sandbox+bulldozer=pure bliss.
There was playground equipment and forts and tunnels for the kids at the farm. Owen ran in this little fort and said, "Blow my house down!" Three little pigs, anyone? Jacob and I huffed and puffed and blew with all our might, but our little piglet was safe :)
Owen enjoyed a little "train" ride at the farm. We were slightly nervous because they take them through a corn maze (out of sight), but Owen had a great time and wanted to ride again.
I love this picture. He's so serious.He knows driving a tractor takes real concentration.
Owen also rode a pony! Oh, he really liked it.His buddies, Tre, Mya and Jake, were on the other ponies, so that was fun.
He kept reaching down to pet the horse, feeling his soft, smooth coat and coarse mane.
He quietly said, "Yeehaw, get on horsey!" with a little prompting. It was cute.
He must also know riding a pony takes serious concentration because he never cracked a smile, but did want to ride "Again!" when the pony stopped walking.
This is what Olivia was doing while Owen was enjoying his pony ride.She had all the pumpkin patch excitement she could handle! Bless her heart...
This about sums up how we all felt once we made it back to the car!We had a great time exploring on the farm and catching up with our friends.
Fall fun and friends-it doesn't get any better!
