A week before the big pumpkin patch adventure Miss M and I started reading a book about finding a pumpkin at the pumpkin patch. She was familiar with the sight of a pumpkin (as she screams at them whenever she sees one - whether it's real or fake) so I was pretty sure the pumpkin patch wasn't going to be a failure.
We loaded up the car and traveled to the suburbs for the pumpkin patch. This isn't just any pumpkin patch. This pumpkin patch has a petting zoo with a wide range of animals ie goats to kangaroos. The kids can feed the giraffes, go for camel rides and watch pig races. They have it all.
The pumpkin patch did not disappoint. Miss M was pretty excited to see the pumpkins and the animals. She likes the mini pumpkins because she can tote them around with her. She definitely has entered the phase where she wants to take things with her wherever she goes.
We had to keep a watchful eye on Miss M while viewing the animals. She wanted to be one with the animals and kept grabbing on to their cages. As you can see below there wasn't anything between the animal and Miss M except the cage so they could have chewed her little fingers off.
Feeding goats carrots. The goat with his nose through the cage was very aggressive. I am not sure he should have been on exhibit that particular day. He fought with all the other goats who tried to get some carrots.
They had a large lawn space dedicated to kid friendly equipment to play on such as wooden tractors and trains. We let the kids just run around and burn some energy before loading them up for a car ride home.
Miss M was determined to take home the heaviest pumpkin she could find. You can see the strain in her face.
Here are the men carrying the boys! Spencer was quite attached to Andrew at the pumpkin patch. I think he was just happy not to have to share him with anyone since he has to share his parents with his brother.
