Pumpkin Patch


October definitely snuck up on all of us. Before we know it, it will be Halloween already. I just cannot believe how fast time is passing by. I do not know if it is because we are so busy over here or what, but time needs to slow down a bit so we can enjoy it a little more.

In celebration of October, Mike and I decided to take our AMAZING, HANDSOME, ADORABLE, TALENTED, and LOVING son to a local pumpkin patch. This was a personally owned property with camels, chickens, goats, horses, and even an extremely LONG slide off a side of a cliff. It was awesome! In addition, they had a little train ride, horse riding, and a barrel of corn that you could play in.

We started out by the animals/petting zoo, purchasing some feed so Brayden could have some one on one with the animals. He was able to hand feed a lamb, and when we walked into the barn he looked a little misplaced, and somewhat hesitant to proceed. There were chickens and even ducks walking all around in there. It was awesome. We then checked out at a humungous pig, a cow, and a horse. Finally, on the other side of the barn we ran into a CAMEL. Lol Who has a camel in Colorado.

After the barn, we proceeded to the enormous slide! Daddy and Brayden went down it, while mommy waited at the end video recording! The look on little Braydens face was just too cute! He had a blast going down the slide with daddy, and I enjoyed watching. After the slide, we went to go ride the little train. I rode this with him, and at first he was not too sure what was going on because he was moving fast, and was not in a car seat. Ha-ha After a few minutes, however, he was smiling and laughing.

Finally, we entered the actual pumpkin patch! This was the best part, because we know Brayden has an obsession with balls. Therefore, when we entered the patch the first words out of Braydens mouth was “BALL?” He thought all the pumpkins were balls. He was elated! Brayden and mommy began to run around like crazy in all the balls. While mommy and Brayden were running around, Daddy was picking out our pumpkins. With each admission purchased, you received a free pumpkin!

Our visit to the pumpkin patch was awesome, and something we will have to continue as a tradition in the family. This was my first time to a pumpkin patch, however, Mike has been several times growing up. We all enjoyed ourselves, especially Brayden. Mike and I just love watching our precious son have a gigantic smile on his face. Every second is soo precious with this little boy.
