Bishop's Pumpkin Farm

This year we had planned on making our annual visit to the pumpkin farm this past Sunday, but the weather had other plans. Earlier in the week I noticed dreaded rainclouds posted to Sunday's forecast, and I was worried that the boys would be horribly disappointed if we had to cancel our outing. Luckily Gigi was more than willing to keep an eye on Simon so that I could take the big boys there on Wednesday. I was a little bummed that Mitch was working and couldn't go with us this year, but the boys seemed to really enjoy our "Mommy-Big-Boy Day" together. ♥


I let the boys take the lead, and they chose (naturally!) to ride the train as soon as we got there


Next, we visited the hay bounce trampoline

We made some new friends in the petting zoo. Sawyer found this teeny baby goat hiding under the feeding trough. He fed the goats and eventually even let one of them eat right out of his hand!

Sutton was a little leery of the goats at first, but he soon warmed up. "I just only want to pet the little baby ones."

We hitched a ride on the pretend wooden train

and posed for some silly pictures

Then it was time to load up into the tractor and take a hay ride out into the pumpkin field

We came home with three big pumpkins, two kid-sized pumpkins, three ears of brightly colored Indian corn, and two baby pumpkins for their baby brother.

We had a fun day at the farm, just the big boys and me!
