Pumpkin Patch

We had fun at the Dollinger Pumpkin Farm! Where we drove an hour and did not pay an arm AND a leg to participate in some fall farm fun! Seriously, around here a trip to the pumpkin patch can be ridiculously expensive! We paid for Simon and Daddy to ride the steam engine train, where the engineer scooped coal. Halfway through our farm time, we enjoyed our own snacks with a shared $1.00 hot chocolate in a warm shed! Yum!!!! We picked out and brought home some little pumpkins for the house! A chilly but wonderful afternoon. Note that Norah is debuting her sunflower hat, created by me! (Next blog entry will give more detail.)

Jumping and playing in the hay bales!

Many wooden creations were fun to explore. There was a little house, church and schoolhouse to walk inside and play! Very fun when child-sized.

Simon and Eric are the first passengers in the blue car! A very cool steam-engine train. Norah jumped whenever the whistle blew!

How tall this fall?

We spent a lot of time at the petting zoo. Here Simon said, "Hello little cow. Can you say moo?" Norah's job was to give every itty-bitty pebble to the animals.

Bunny free for all! The bunnies were in a sandbox like area where kids could just step in and pick up any bunny. I think the bunnies were changed every so often, but seriously, these poor bunnies could easily have some sort of trauma from too many little hands!!!!

Our lil' pumpkin! (Yes, he is still so little!)

So fall-licious!
