Pumpkins!!

Yesterday we went out to the Blase Family Farm in Rockwall to check out their pumpkin patch, and when we got there, they had SO much more than pumpkins!  First we tried to feed the longhorns, but they snubbed us, so we headed over to the goats.  We found one very hungry little goat.  Hunter wasn't interested in feeding him (no one's surprised, I know), but Char couldn't get enough (and neither could the goat!)...

Then we got to go for a little hayride and see the blueberry patch (they are a mainly a blueberry farm, so they took us to their blueberry crops)...

The kids weren't as thrilled with this as I had envisioned.  They were ready to jump off after about .7 seconds, so I gave them each a shot at the camera to entertain them for a minute.  Here's Hunter's...

 

After the hayride, Hunter wanted to explore the pumpkins.  We found this big measuring stick in the patch...

We grow 'em tall in the Brooks family:)

 

Then we headed over for some hot dogs, chips and Sprite...

And ended our little trip with some fun in the hay maze...

Char wanted to pose like a ballerina:)...

 

We did have fun at the farm, but I didn't like the way their pumpkins looked, so today we headed over to this church's pumpkin patch that we go to every year to get our pumpkins.  I told the kids they could each pick one, and Hunter really took his time looking around before finding just the right one...

Char chose this little baby pumpkin because it was "so cute like a baby"...

What a fun little surprise that they gave the kids a candy treat when we paid for our pumpkins!

And Hunter didn't waste anytime digging right in to his:)
