Motley's Pumpkin Patch

The girls have been begging to go on another hay ride ever since the Harvest festival. Last Sunday, after church (and giving blood), we took a family trip to Motley's Pumpkin Patch. First, we watched some pig races and rode a hay ride.




Our kids posed next to the prize-winning giant pumpkins:



We checked out animals in the petting zoo area before heading to the pumpkin patch.



The kids loved climbing the hay mountain and sliding down the slide in the play area.


The girls rode the cow train through the Christmas tree farm. Bella's cow was named Bella!



We had to try to get a family picture...


The kids played on the swings until the tornado sirens went off. I sent Michael to put the kids in the car while I paid for the pumpkin, but the line to pay was longer than expected and I had the car keys - and the wind picked up suddenly - so we changed plans and hid inside the building, crowding by the restroom until the storm calmed.


Bella said her horse was flying as she flapped the ears. She thought she was so funny!


On Thursday, Gabi returned to Motley's Pumpkin Patch for a Kindergarten class field trip.
