Pumpkin patch

Grandtudy came for a visit this weekend and requested we do some fun fall activities so we headed out to the farm to see some animals and pick some pumpkins.

"hello bunnies, wanna see my pinwheel?"

The weather was amazing and Chase loved riding in his wagon.  We also made quite a few trips down the giant slide.  Each time Chase laughed after we came to our soft landing at the bottom.

my boys.

One of the highlights of the trip were the farm animals.  Chase was mesmerized by the rabbits and ponies.  but the real fun came when we found a goat roaming freely from family to family being fed quite well from the kiddies.  Chase grabbed momma with one hand and carried his trust spoon with the other.  As we approached the goat, he pointed his spoon inches away from the goats face and said, "Mama!  Mama mama mama."  Oh dear lord!  Everyone in a 15 foot radius was laughing their heads off.... and so were we!

Chase: "Mama!"    Me: groan   Goat: "huh?  you gonna feed me or not?"

"no Chase, you can't feed the pony with your spoon."

 When we got to the pigs, I told Chase he better be careful buddy!  He said "Daddaaa" instead.  Good boy.

The farms is where Chase also had his first love affair with farm equipment.  He stalked the 4-wheeler as it rode around the farm and the hayride tractor left his eyes wide, and mouth open (well, his mouth is always open).  I definitely see lots of trucks in his future.

Big Wheel!

Always campaigning for Gramps!

hay ride!

We walked deep into the pumpkin patch in search of the BEST little pumpkin and Chase was happy with his choice.

Where's waldo?

We also did a little campaigning for Gramps who will hopefully win as judge in a few short weeks!

 

Tunnell for judge.  Kiss the baby :)

And we searched until we found the best pumpkin....

Chase found his pumpkin.

And we already have ours....
