This was our first year (since 2004) not going to Hawks' pumpkin patch in NC. I have 2007, '08, '09, '10 documented here on the blog in case you're interested. I was feeling sad about missing that tradition and the Dixie Classic Fair, so I wanted to do something really fun with the kids. Dan had a Saturday off a couple of week's ago, and we headed to a farm in the city after Elena's soccer game. We were all exhausted after.The hay ride:
We saw some Chincoteague ponies:
At the pumpkin patch they had some fun stuff:
I love these kids!
Posing with our pumpkins:
Then we took a hay ride over to the petting zoo/picnic area. Kevin kept running up to the goats and asking them how they were doing and what their names were. He seemed sincerely disappointed when he didn't get any responses. Also, he asked me if he could ride one of the goats.
Elena takes a more cautious approach:
There were lots of wooden things for the kids to play on. Besides the tractor, they had a train, a monster truck, a couple boats, and a castle. There was another bounce house in this area too.
We had a great time and are excited to carve our pumpkins tomorrow. They've just been sitting on the porch looking pretty for the last two weeks. Happy (almost) Halloween, everyone!
