Yesterday was a beautiful (although a little warm) fall day, so Eric and I took Sam to the pumpkin patch. This place is really huge - we saw a lot more than pumpkins!
Sam had a blast crawling in and out of the miniature town and sitting in every single play tractor. I think he tried every slide there and played in both water and sand activity areas. We did not do the corn maze, as the very idea of them just terrifies me.
Sam's favorite part of the farm was feeding the animals. We put quarter after quarter into the little machines, filling his hands with corn. He dumped it down a tube and the chickens pecked away at it. In the goat pen, a big lazy goat just sat at the end of a tube with his mouth open. He caught everything that was sent down and chomped away. Sam thought that was hilarious and fed him most of his corn.
After all of the fun we took a tractor ride out to the field to pick a pumpkin. Sam likes really gross pumpkins. He chose one that from one angle was round and orange. As soon as it was turned we could see that one entire side was flat and green. It could best be described as an inverted pyramid. The rind was so thick and distorted we didn't think he could even carve it. I distracted Sam as Eric hid it out in the field. We then picked a big, round pumpkin for Sam to carve this week. So sue us.
I just now called to him in the next room to ask him what his favorite part was. "Goats!" he yelled back.
Really, aren't goats what Halloween is all about?

Apparently my kid agrees with the goats!!LOL
I'm so glad Sam finally got a pumpkin, it concerned me that he refused one at the other pumpkin farm. I thought I'd have to buy one in Denver and ship it to him priority mail!
