Spent the morning yesterday picking pumpkins. We finally found the best pumpkin patch and it's really close. It's called Johnson Farms. You get to go out to the pumpkin field and pick your pumpkin. Many are still on vines and you have to cut them.
It was very chilly. Had to pull out the heavy jackets. We were the first ones there for about half an hour. It was great! We had the whole field and hay wagon to our selves.
The best pic of the day. Think I'm going to have to frame this one. This is the pumpkin Violet got to take home.
We then went to see all the farm animals. Violet got to walk among the young chicks. She was very excited. Poor chickens kept running every time she'd get near.
Goat licked Violet's finger. And as quickly as that happened Violet's finger went into her mouth. Ugh.
We stayed for about 2hrs. We had to get going so we could get some lunch and take a nap. But we could have stayed for the pig races and the giant canon that shoots pumpkins. Could have also tried the pumpkin donuts and cider but thought it might ruin lunch. Maybe next year. I think this will become a new tradition for us every year. Big fun!!

Looks like fun! We're doing this Tues night. I'm sure we won't get as good of pictures since we'll be there when it's dark.
Love the one of Violet holding the pumpkin!
