Pumpkin Farm
Yesterday, we went to a local Pumpkin Farm with our MOMS Club. We had reserved the day/time to match up with our normal Tuesday meetings. However, someone must have forgotten to inform the weatherman . . . because it was down right COLD (48 degrees) & WET! 
The kids did really well for most of the time. There was a lot of different activities for them to do . . .
-- a hay bale maze (which was luckily inside an open barn)
-- an animal area with a turkey, chickens, calf, donkey, rabbits, sheep and goats)
-- a hay pyramid that even had tunnels!
-- a tractor display (which was covered!)
-- and a tractor-pulled ride out to the back forty to pick a pumpkin!
Nicholas seemed to enjoy most of it. He liked running through the hay maze and was excited about "seeing" the animals. But, he did NOT want to touch them! He did, however, try to catch a chicken . . . that was pretty funny! When it came time to climb the hay pyramid, I thought he'd climb right up. But, he was too distracted by the tractors.
When we got out to the pumpkin fields, Nicholas was the first one to get off. I did my best to keep up without slipping in the mud. He ran straight for a bright green, although nicely shaped, pumpkin. He said "This is Daddy's pumpkin." I tried to explain to him that Daddy might want a pumpkin with a little more orange coloring to it.
AND, he found one!!!
Then, he pointed to it . . . said, "Momma carry" . . . and started walking back to the little shelter where the tractor dropped us off. I asked him,
"Where are you going?"
Nicholas said, "All DONE!"

How cute, "All Done". The boy knows when he's finished! I love the photo of him holding the green pumpkin! Glad you guys had a good time, despite the rain. Have to tell ya - last Thursday when Evan's preschool went, the weather was perfect! Hee hee - you can slap me now....
LOL! He is too much! :) Great pictures, as always.
Melanie: Yes, I saw your "perfect weather pumpkin patch" pics ... I'll just have to get you at MNO. (LOL)
Casey: We missed you at the farm, but we're jealous of your "perfect" pumpkin patch pics too! Nick is such the little "man" sometimes :-)
Smart little man you have there! He is pretty adorable too! Sounds like the rain didn't stop you all from having a great time!
Sounds like a busy but fun day! I was really hoping for good weather for you guys. Don't feel too bad, when we went to was cold too. I guess that's the pacific northwest for you!
Looks like great fun. Dylan's class goes on MOnday. Imiss going with MC.
