Pumpkin Patch

One of the perks of the kids going back to school in the middle of the summer (Aug 3rd) is that they get a fall break from Oct 20-25 this year. We headed north to see the family (yes i know i just got back from there but you can never see too much of the little kiddles).








Fall is well underway there and Kylie invited MeeMaw and Auntie Kim to go with her and her mommy & daddy to the pumpkin patch on Kent Island on Saturday.















It was great fun!! They had gourds, an animal petting zoo, a hayride and of course....PUMPKINS!!













The miniature horses already have their winter coats coming in...we've told Kylie she should get Pop (my dad) to buy her one and keep it at his house for her to ride (that would be soooo much better than the stupid corvette he just bought).












Goats, donkey, turkey, assorted chickens and a pot-bellied pig were among the other pets there.










































MeeMaw doesn't do hayrides anymore (not since Auntie Kim was little and she spent a week recovering from hayfever anyway) so she stayed and talked to the animals.















Here we go on our hayride....












WOW!! Look at all the pumpkins!!!












Kylie finds one right away (and yes she made sure that one came home too).



















Daddy Eric finds a really heavy one!















Pumpkin picking sure is hard work.












I'll carry this one myself.












Our stash.....














we had a really fun day at the pumpkin patch.....
