Pumpkins

A few weeks ago, we took the kids to a pumpkin patch- we had a blast! The day was beautiful- a great sunny, fall day. The pumpkin patch was at a farm that had all kinds of things to do- a "petting zoo" with farm animals- goats, pigs, a llama, rabbits, and ponies. Micah got to feed some of the animals- it was a little intimidating for him to reach out with food, but he had fun watching the animals try to get it.

I think he wanted to get in the pen with the pig!!!

Silas had fun watching all the animals- his eyes were pretty big all day, taking it all in.

There was also this train that Micah got to ride-- he was the only one riding this HUGE train- Paul could have gone with him, but he tried to get in the little car, and it almost tipped over backwards-- very funny. So Micah went on his own- it was a long ride! I was proud of him, being so brave riding all by himself. He had a lot of fun, though.

After the train ride, we took a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch. Micah wanted to look at EVERY pumpkin-- and of course, the rotten, mushy ones were the most intriguing.
He finally picked one-- I think the best part of his whole day was pushing it in a dump truck. Dump trucks make everything fun, right?

When we got home, of course we had to take a lot of pictures with our pumpkins! Silas is so happy right now-- always smiling! and Micah is too goofy to smile "right"-- I don't know how families take good pictures of everyone! But this captures his spirit, I suppose... I have 2 SWEET BOYS!!
