Pumpkin Patch

We decided we needed to take the kids somewhere fun this weekend. A friend had told me about a pumpkin patch in Moorpark so we thought we'd check it out. It was in the 90's so no Halloween outfits, but bucket hats instead. I was expecting a normal pumpkin patch, but this place was huge! It is a farm that is open all year, but is especially big in October. Aunt Shannon met us there and the babies were in their bjorn (their favorite place to be!) the whole time. We had so much fun and saw so many things...






We saw farm animals for the first time! We watched a pig race (our pink pig won!), got up close with a huge, snorting pig, watched big horses pull wagons, and saw lots of chickens and furry cows!







We watched a chicken puppet show, met some scarecrows, and saw thousands of pumpkins!





Dellan's favorite for the day was the tractor! He was pretty quite all day just staring and taking everything in, but the second a tractor would drive by he would wildly kick his feet and arms and get huge eyes. We took him on a ride behind a tractor and instead of looking at the sights (sunflower fields, hanging squash, mazes, and so much more!) he stared at the tractor the whole time.




By far the highlight of the day for Laney was the live folk music. She had her mouth open with a huge grin the entire time she could hear the music. She would belly laugh is anyone would dance or when Shannon would "dance" with her. She has always loved music and dancing, but I think folk music is her thing!










Daddy got fresh homemade donuts and let us lick the powdered sugar off his finger
