We braved the windy mess and headed to the pumpkin patch after McKell got out of school today. Phil took the day off, he starts SICU on Monday which means lots of overnight call!:( So we went to a little farm that was about 15 minutes away. It was so cute. They had a big maze through the corn, a small maze through huge rolls of hay, lots of animals to see, and tons and tons of pumpkins. There was a cute old lady there to take your money for the pumpkins and show the kids the new baby chick that had just hatched. On the weekends they sell pies, cookies, and they have puppies and kittens to give away.
We went with our fun friends the Kirks (who are moving in a month- we are sooo sad about it). They have kids the exact same age as our kids. We went through the big maze with Steve pulling the girls in the wagon, then saw the animals and went through the smaller maze where I hid and scared McKell half to death (he,he,he). We picked out our pumpkins and saw the baby chick. The girls chased the goose, dog, and cats around. We then went to looked at the chickens and Alyssa got pecked by one- thats what happens when you don't listen to dad! I don't think she really got touched but she sure got scared.
As you can tell from the pictures- it was very windy so I made the kids wear hats and we bundled up Nate. They all had a blast and McKell was very sad we left. The whole way home she talked about having a cat, which we will NEVER have.
