pumpkin pickin'

Yesterday my friend Shelly called and invited us to go pick pumpkins with her and her two kids, while our husbands studied. What fun to go pick your own pumpkin, rather than grabbing one at Wal-mart on your way out. Although, no offense to those who get their pumpkins that way, I've done it many times.
They also had animals to look at/pet there, which Camden was thrilled about. Maddie continues to be terrified of ANY animal. Cam was more than happy to stick his hand in the goats mouth (gross!) and let any other animal lick his hand.
Here is Maddie, keeping her distance. Although at one point she asked to be held up to see a big hairy bull, and once I did, she started screaming, and asking to leave.

Pretending to look at the camera (little stinkers!...I always think I have a good enough picture and get home to find out that no ones eyes are actually looking at me)

Posing with their friends after picking some pumpkins.

Just a little evidence of how beautiful it is here right now...looks like a postcard, huh?

Was that indian ladder again. That cow is the weirdest thing huh? They have such a strange array of animals. I was just sitting on my porch today LOVING the view. This is one time when it is great to be on a hill!

That looks like so much fun! I have been trying to find a pumpkin patch to go to for like a month! So sad. Last night I finally grabbed one at Target... By the way, your bows are beautiful!

Looks like fun! I got the Walmart pumpkins for our carving ones, but I'm taking the kids to the pumpkin patch to pick a few little ones. I figure that way I can balance the budget and still have a little fun.
