Pumpkin Patch 2010

On Saturday we went to the Old Baker Farm Pumpkin Patch in Harpersville. Beau was most excited about these ride on toy tractors that were everywhere. He would hop on them and drive them around and around. He had been on a red one several times and was waiting to ride a green tractor. He finally got to ride one as we were walking towards the parking lot on our way out. I didn't think he would ever get off of it!

We started off the pumpkin patch with a trip to the petting zoo. We saw goats, bunnies, pigs, horses, cows, and ducks. A lady let Beau pet a duck and he clung on to me and wanted me to pet it with him....one day he will learn I don't love to pet live animals at zoo's and farms very much. Oh well...after that we lathered up with hand sanitizer and kept on the tour of the pumpkin patch. Next, Beau found some hay bails that he could climb on and jump off of...fun for a while! Then, we made our way down to the line to get on the hay ride to the pumpkin patch. Beau was so excited to see "site builders" (tractors, bulldozers, etc.) on the hay ride to the pumpkins. He ran through the fields to find the perfect pumpkins for our family. He said he was stronger than me so he would carry them for me...this lasted only a minute or so before he handed me 2 pumpkins to carry back to the wagon. They carted our pumpkins to the parking lot for us so we didn't have to tote them around the farm the rest of the morning...very nice! We picked them up on our way out of the parking lot.

He had a great time (despite how HOT it was that day!). This was our last pumpkin patch as a family of 3....we probably should have gotten a family shot, but we are so bad at getting those!

Playing in the Cotton Bounce....cotton was everywhere!






Pointing at the bunnies....not a fan of touching any of the animals up close
