Pumpkin Patch

Things Bria liked about the pumpkin patch:
  • Being with her Aunt Heather
  • Meeting her new friend, Jack (whom she kissed twice, big slobbery kisses) and his mom and dad
  • Petting the goats
  • Seeing Daddy hold little baby chicks
  • Falling asleep on the bumpy hayride, then finishing her nap in Jack's awesome stroller
  • Seeing the goat jump on Daddy while he fed them
  • And watching the adults scarf down the best donuts in the world
Things Bria did NOT like about the pumpkin patch:
  • Pumpkins
It was quite hilarious to watch Bria start crying the moment we put her anywhere near a pumpkin. I was so looking forward to those cute pumpkin pictures but Bria had other plans. I think some of the reason was that she missed her nap and was exhausted, but even after a catnap on the hayride and in Jack's stroller, she still didn't like the pumpkins. I'm hoping next year will be a different story. And we are definitely going back to the same pumpkin patch next year because they had the best apple cider donuts and pumpkin donuts in the world!
The pumpkin patch itself was pretty nice and had tons of stuff for kids to do and lots of farm animals. Next year Bria will have fun going for a pony ride...unless she's scared of those too.

The goat got Brian nice and dirty:


Heather was able to capture this photo, which was a miracle since Bria is not crying in it:
Jack was adorable and tried comforting Bria, he was the sweetest:
Jack is cracking up and Bria is having a meltdown:

Brian, Me, Bria, Jack, Sarah, and Troy:

Bria loved touching his hands and face:

Bria got her diaper changed on a flatbed truck, how many babies can say that?
Drama queen:

We were hoping they had more of the cute face cut outs but we only found one. At least it was cute :)

Daddy requested to have this picture taken:

Daddy holding a teenage chicken (I say teenage b/c they were bigger than the babies):
Bria sleeping through the hayride:
Brian and Troy being fatherly to the baby chicks ;)

Brian wanted to experience what it would be like to have twins:
Jack and Bria both have blond hair and blue eyes so they could be twins ;) Jack smiled about 90% of the time we were there, he was so stinkin' adorable. When we first got there and were walking towards them, Jack got the biggest smile on his face and it just melted my heart. I appreciated the warm welcome.

Aunt Heather snuggled Bria while she examined a small pumpkin, it was small enough that it did not scare her:
We tested our luck and plopped her in a bin of small pumpkins, she was ok for a minute but then she was done.

Brian and I barely took any pictures with our own camera because Heather had her big camera and took at least 5 pictures each minute, it was like our own paparazzi :) I LOVED it. She captured some cute ones of Bria and I together and that's hard for me to do by myself at home.

Thanks to my friend Sarah for coming down! Troy is hilarious and Jack is simply adorable-best smile. We had so much fun.

We had such a blast, and even though it's a 3 hr drive, the company and donuts were so worth it! Shall we say Oct 2010?

Lyla would like to know if she should be jealous or if this is just a friendly love. ;)

The pictures look great. Lyla wouldn't go near the hay alone.

I love the "Drama Queen" picture. Priceless! And might I suggest that you not tell her about Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin until she overcome this fear? No need to scar the child for life. ;-)
