Punkin' Pickin'

It was a very busy day at our house today. First we had a good visit from Grandma and Grandpa (both of whom go by the moniker "Pa" if you ask Eli). After they departed, we decided to make our visit to the local pumpkin patch to enjoy the gorgeous weather.

Now, this is no ordinary pumpkin patch, it is more like the state fair -- produced on a large working farm. It was perhaps the most kid-friendly thing I've ever seen.

First there was the petting zoo complete with pigs, rabbits, sheep, cow, Belgian work horse and lots of other animals. That horse had a very big head thought Eli.

The farm has a corn maze, but we stuck to the Toddler Maze.

Hey, did you know that is a sheep?
Then there was the hay ride behind a tractor(!!) to the pumpkin field itself, with LOTS of pumpkins.

I'll take a load off right here.

Oops.

And finally, home (exhausted) with our prize.
