Pumpkins!!

This year we took a family trip to Old Baker's Farm in Harpersville to pick out a pumpkin. They had a great pumpkin patch and lots of things for Claire to enjoy. We met up with our friends Whitney, Joey, Hayes & Tanner. First, we visited the animals in the petting zoo. Claire wouldn't get too close, but did touch a baby calf with Daddy. After the animals and Hayes' horseback ride, it was time to hop on the hayride out to the patch. What a great selection of pumpkins. We must have chosen the hottest day in October to go to the farm, but still managed to take our time picking out the 3 prettiest pumpkins. It was lots of fun!

Look.....chickens!

Ready to pick out pumpkins.....

...until our tractor was hijacked. Apparently the day we went was "western day" and our ride was held up by the bad guys. Luckily the sheriff showed up just in time so we could be on our way. Claire was really confused when the robbers jumped on our trailer, but just watched in amazement.

Picking out the perfect pumpkin takes time.
