Pumpkin Fun

This year we headed out to a new place- Sims Farm- to try to find a pumpkin.  We usually love going to the corn maze but with Dan's foot being broken the beloved corn maze was not really an option.  So we were just hoping for a great hayride and lots of pumpkins.  Sims farm had an awesome hayride but a very very small selection of small pumpkins.  We had a very dry summer and they said the pumpkin patch didn't do very well.  So the next day we went to another farm- Freeman Springs Farm- to hopefully find the perfect pumpkin.  This place had a petting zoo, a hay bale maze/play area, and a pretty good selection of pumpkins.  Amelia and I even rode the barrel train!


Sims Farm- not to sure about the corn crib at first

after watching some other kids she started to get the hang of it

Hayride at Sims Farm- I couldn't get Amelia to look at me at all!  Way to many distractions :)

hayride went past a beautiful field of sunflowers

still wouldn't look at me or smile . . .

Next day- we went to Freeman Springs Farm

Amelia liked this baby goat but she never would touch it- she just kept pointing at it and saying 'baby' and "baa baa"

Amelia ran right into this hay bale maze- she tried to be like the big kids that were running around on top of the hay bales

For those that are interested- here is a pic of my ever growing belly (I'm at 6 1/2 months now!)

This thing went pretty fast- Amelia wasn't too sure

on to find the perfect pumpkin- this one?

she tried to pick this one up

these two look good

at home with our pumpkins- she was sure telling us a story about something while we were trying to get her to smile

finally a little smile

Daddy was being goofy trying to get her to smile so she just got up and ran to him :)

yeah- best picture!
