Pumpkins!

Halloween is just around the corner so we took the boys to The Pumpkin Barn today...Riley was lovin' it!
He picked out a little pumpkin for himself...something he could carry on his own.

Riley and Sawyer checking out the bigger pumpkins...

Riley helped me pick out a bigger pumpkin for our front porch.

Jace and Riley scheming as usual.

There were lots of animals at the farm...here's Riley checking out the rabbit.

Riley picked out a "Daddy-Sized" pumpkin. Since daddy won't be home until after Thanksgiving and I wasn't about to carry that huge thing, we decided to just stick to the "Mommy-Sized" and "Riley-Sized" pumpkins this year.

Riley enjoyed helping me get the pumpkins to the car.

Now that's a cute pumpkin head!

The Pumpkin Barn is a real working farm and they have lots of animals to look at...there were a couple of llamas which Riley kept calling horses.

Riley and Jace's favorite was the more "domesticated" animal...the little cat hanging around wanting attention.

There was a crazy donkey who kept running around his little area and kicking up dirt and mud at you if you got too close. Riley said, "I'm scared!" so we didn't stick around.

We took a little tour of the farm which was actually really big. They grow pumpkins, corn, beans, and raise cattle.

Riley liked all of the big tractors hanging around.

Here are the cows...it was raining for two days straight prior so they were all muddy.

And here's the pumpkin patch...

When we got home, Sawyer took over the Matchbox cars...he was in heaven!

The day was a little chilly but turned out to be absolutely beautiful - Riley and Jace took advantage of it...

And played a little bumper bikes!

We call this picture "Sweet cheeks!"

Sawyer giving us one of his "snob" looks.
The Pumpkin Barn was a hit with the kids...and the adults had a pretty good time too!
