The Pumpkin Patch

A little over a week ago (yes, I am behind... I'm sorry), we took the boys to the Legare Farms Pumpkin Patch. Jackson loved running through the patch and checking out each and every pumpkin, trying to find the very best one. Harris just loved running through the pumpkin patch!!

After looking at about three thousand pumpkins, we narrowed it down to two, one for each of them.


Harris and I took a hayride while we were there (Jackson was not interested!). The hayride took us out to a field where we were encouraged to feed the cows with the provided "cow food". These cows knew exactly what we were going to do, and they couldn't get to us fast enough. While the other two boys on the hayride loved feeding the cows, Harris was mortified and screamed the entire time. I don't blame him... those cows have some scary faces!!
After the hayride, the boys played on the "race course" that was set up for big wheels and tricycles. Neither child was happy when we decided that it was getting late and we were getting hungry... I think they could have stayed and played for hours.
We ended the night with a BBQ dinner at the Hickory Hawg (why do they have to call their BBQ plates "Piggie Platters"???). It was a great afternoon, and both boys were totally worn out. Thank goodness it was an early night for them, as we were totally worn out as well!
