Things have been so busy here, that I haven't sat down to blog in quite a while!The kids (of course) loved it. As I could not get them to hold still for a photo, this was my favorite candid one. Daniel and his friend Matthew are examining a real-live caterpillar on the stem of Daniel's pumpkin. (Can you see how entralled he is? You should see him when we dig up a worm in our garden!)
We began at Pumpkin Class, learning the various stages of pumpkin growth. Did you know that the base of a pumpkin is where the flower once was, and now is withered off? Then we went for a hay ride around the farm. Next was the petting zoo. I don't think I've ever seen the cattle equivalent of a Shetland pony until last month! There were horses, goats, rabbits, turkeys, sheep, chickens, ducks, you name it. From there everyone got a chance to choose any pumpkin they could carry out from the 3 acre of pumpkin patch.
I think Hannah's favorite was the petting zoo. She loves animals, and Papa came along and bought her some feed for the animals. She was delighted. :-)
Even Caleb loved all the excitement!Can't wait till next year...

Sounds like a fun outing! And, look at Caleb! He's so big!! He looks more like Hannah, maybe? But he has blonde hair like mommy and Daniel. :) What a cutie.
