October 12, 2009

Today we went with our friends to a fantastic pumpkin patch.

Grace helped Gorilla hop on a pumpkin.

Suki does a giddy dance in anticipation of her first moon bounce.

Climbing up "stone step hill."



Down the slide! This place was so much fun for these three.


Then, their first moon bounce. They really loved it.




Kate spent most of her time flat on her belly but delighted.


Looking for birds.

A three sister confab regarding the best way to get Suki's shoe on.






Emmy and Kate.

Grace offers Emmy a cookie after all of their bouncing.

With Emmy and Lauren near the hay pyramid.

Sean and Grace.


Sweet Sean gives Kate a ride.



Smacking a pumpkin.

Selecting gourds.

Gently placing them in her wagon.


Lauren and Emmy come over to help Kate load up the wagon.


Then we went to another patch where they had so many beautiful flowers.



Admiring some goats.

Looking in at some rabbits.


Getting goat food from Sarah.





Feeding the chickens -- they loved the long blades of grass we picked for them.






I showed Grace how my sisters and I used to make the chickens nod yes and shake their heads no.


Kate was delighted by all of the animals up close.





Feeding chickens. Grace actually got nipped by one and was pretty surprised -- I showed her how giving the chickens only long blades and releasing them once the chickens started eating would keep that from happening again and she went back to feeding the hens.






The "grass weeds!"


What a long, fun morning!
