Family Night Pumpkin Patch Visit

Monday night we took the kids to a farm and pumpkin patch. Let's just say we picked a horrible night to go! It was cold and the wind was blowing. Look at poor Isaac with Chuck trying to keep him covered up.

The kids picking out their pumpkins. It took us all of a few minutes to have the kids each grab a pumpkin and hop on the wagon to ride back because it was so cold.

The kids with their pumpkins. Samuel was so proud of the little shriveled pumpkin he picked. He loves for us to read him the story of the littlest pumpkin. In the story the littlest pumpkin wants someone to take him home and make him into a jack-o-latern, but no one chooses him because he is so small. Later in the story, mice come to the pumpkin stand and make him into a jack-o-latern. So Samuel told us he choose this pumpkin because it was the littlest pumpkin and no one would choose it if he didn't take it. It really is a sorry looking pumpkin, but he loves it!

Aunt Trina and baby Kambree came with us.

Because the pumpkin patch is on a farm, they also have animals you can pet.

Looking at the chickens. Samuel stuck his finger in the cage and look what happened!

A chicken bit his finger! He was not happy to say the least!

They also have little activities the kids can do. Samuel went down this very steep slide and a huge kid came down right after him and plowed him into the ground. So poor Samuel was crying again and we were picking straw and chicken seed out of his little mouth.
