We made the annual family trip to the pumpkin patch- the very fancy (as pumpkin patches go), very popular, Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina. We had a great time- on account of the amazing weather (wind excluded), beautiful drive, fun farm animals, the ever-popular hayride, and of course, picking out our prize pumpkins (or "punkins" as Taylor adorably refers to them). Brian couldn't get enough pictures and the girls couldn't get enough of the cows, goats, donkeys, and sheep that were corralled all over the place. The best part of the day was when the girls got to pick out their very own pumpkins to take home. Here's a peek into our day at the "punkin catch" (Taylor's words- again).
Kate loved feeding the goats- but it was a delicate process. If you let the goats get a good grip on your cup, they'd rip it right out of your hands. Fun nonetheless!
Daddy and his girls on the hayride.
Taylor would have taken every pumpkin home, if only she could have lifted them all- you gotta admire her for trying. She hefted this one up just long enough to say, "Momma, its heavy" and then dropped it altogether with a big thud.
Needless to say, we took two of the smallest we could find. The girls had a blast painting them right after we got home.
I apologize for the over-abundance of pictures- if you know Brian, then you know why...'nuff said.

Cute pictures. When the Grahams go the goats and all of the other animal friends all get cups full because were to scared to feed them by hand and really even to scared to hold the cup there. So it's a quick "shove the cup on the nose and let's go".
Those pictures are so cute. I have always wanted to check out that pumpkin patch. It looks like a good one.
So cute! We're glad you guys are on here too so we can keep in touch!
