Pumpkin Patch Adventures, Part I


There is a great pumpkin patch not too far from our house that offers acres and acres of pick-your-own pumpkins, gorgeous mountain views, farm animals to oooo and ahhh over, and free bouncy castle entertainment. We had so much fun the first time we went, we ended up going back two more times before Halloween came.

The first time we went, it was with our twin friends Sophie and Oliver. They are a little younger than the girls and weren't quite as sure about exploring the bumpy pumpkin patch terrain.
Oliver is telling his mom he's ready to go home!

Emily and Addison had a great time exploring the patch, and while I thought  being a whole year older might make dirt less appetizing (see last year's dirt and stick eating here), I was wrong.
Addie makes a face and offers me the rock she's munching on. Wasn't as tasty as you were expecting, hu?

Mmmmm! Pumpkin!

Ooooo! Vines!

Mud Muncher!
 After getting our fill of pumpkins, vines, and dirt, we headed over to the farm animals to say hello. The girls have been getting pretty proficient in their animal sounds, and were able to converse quite smoothly with several of the animals.
Emily came up to this guy and was ready to greet him with a "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" He taught her that turkeys say
"Gobble Gobble!"

Oink Oink!

Addie was fascinated with how the big kids were feeding the animals. 

She observed those big kids closely and then tried to copy. Mom read the sign and said "No way Jose!"

Not to be deterred from her feeding mission, Addison brings her sister on board to see if they can sneak one past Mom

"Hey kid! Look over there! That's the good straw...go get us some!"
