pumpkin patch

Saturday afternoon we met up with some friends at Homestead farm. We went there a couple weeks ago to go apple picking. This time we were taking a hay ride and picking pumpkins. The kids had so much fun and it was the most perfect fall day. Siena was so excited for the hay ride and loved it. She loved running around in the field and climbing on all the pumpkins. Ben hated the hay ride. I think he didn't like the feel of the hay. He liked the pumpkin patch and would run to a pumpkin, pick it up and throw it. He thought they were all balls. We finally found two good ones that the kids could carry. They have a little petting zoo. They were both really brave, much braver than last time. They wanted to feed the cow and the goats. The goats really like to be fed the clovers and Siena and Ben were very brave in holding the clovers out so the goat would take it from them. There was also this huge pile of hay to climb on and Siena didn't want to do it last time but she loved it this time. What a difference 3 weeks make I guess. She could climb up the tire and jump in the hay. She was quite adventerous today. It's such a fun tradition and we had an awesome time with our friends. Of course we all went out and took over this little restaraunt Nielsen's Frozen Custard. It was delicious!
