A Visit to The Pumpkin Patch

Saturday my Mum, Philip & I spent the afternoon with Addison at Hill Ridge Farms. She we had a BLAST. I wasn't sure if the environment would be extremely friendly for her age but they definitely have plenty of fun & interactive things for her to enjoy. Get ready for a photo bomb.

Her favorite part was probably the horses.  She said "horsey" in an high pitched, slightly scared voice & would point & say "neigh, neigh".  Against my better judgement (with all the e.coli outbreaks), we bought her a pony ride. I am so glad we did because she definitely enjoyed it.

 
 She was a little hesitant at first.  But as soon as the horse moved it's head she squealed with excitement. Once she got comfortable she rocked back & forth (like she does on her rocking horse at home) & had a giant smile plastered on her face.

We took our time & let her explore. 

She played in the wood fort, yelling at all the big kids that ran past her. 

She explored the teepee but was over it pretty fast.

The tunnel was a huge hit (minus her slipping & falling).  She loved hearing her voice echo inside it & was totally intrigued by the fact that I was at the other end.

 She wasn't sure what to think of the hayride at first.  I think she was overwhelmed with the noise & the amount of people on it but once the tractor got going she hammed it up as usual.

As we pulled up to the pumpkins. She kept pointing saying "ball". 

 We couldn't get her off the tractor fast enough.

We told her to pick out a pumpkin & she kept walking around pointing.

Finally she found one she liked & sat down beside it.  At this point I think she was completely over having her picture taken & intentionally would not look at Philip with the camera, lol.

We all climbed in the hay & threw it around like crazy people.

 Our final stop was the general store. We picked up some fudge for my Dad since he wasn't able to make it.

It was so much fun & there was a ton of stuff to do. Next year we will definitely do the hayride & get her face painted.
