The Pumpkin Patch

A couple of weekends ago, Oct 12, we went up to Wyoming to the pumpkin patch. Rick, Amber and the boys along with Lindsey and Kirra all went together. We met up at Rick's house for brunch and waited for Brian to finish over at Karen's house. The day was a little overcast but was very warm, near 70.

The first thing we did was head over to the apple guns, which they loaded with corn cobs. Ally, Brian, Rick, and Alex all shot them off while I held Gabby close. She is not real fond of loud noises. We stuck around for the pumpkin launcher, in which the pumpkin leaves the gun at 250 mph and is launched almost a mile. It was quite the site to see. We then listened to the "pumpkin dragon" and after headed to the petting zoo.

Everyone was very excited to see and feed the goats, especially Rick! Gabby is not a big fan of the larger animals and stuck real close to me as far away as possible from the goats and cows. When Gabby and I cam upon the chickens and bunnies she was lovin' it.

Then we went over to the wagon loading area which brings you back tot he field of pumpkins. We all unloaded and picked out our pumpkins. Of course they set the largest pumpkins to the front of the field. By all means we ventured to the back of the field to find a smaller pumpkin. All in all we had a great time.
