Berry Patch Farms - Pumpkin Patch

It's that time of year again!  The time of year where we head out to enjoy some family fun in the fall!  Our yearly trip to a pumpkin patch!  This year we tried out a new patch and it was fun.  This farm had some fun activities for the kids.  I think we will be visiting this farm during the summer too so we can pick some yummy berries! 
Our trip started with this GIGANTIC pig!  I have never seen a pig this big!  It didn't move or have a neck!

 Logan LOVES all animals and has no fears of them.  He enjoyed petting the pig!  Lily however was a little more hesitant!  It takes her a while to warm up and then she enjoys petting them too!
 After we took some pictures with the pig, we headed over and made a scarecrow magnet and then headed to the pumpkin bowling!  Now just a side note about Lily, if she can't do something perfect the first time, she gets a little upset and frustrated.  Well the pumpkin bowling lead to a lot of frustration for Lily.  She wanted to do it all by herself, but she needed help to get it figured out.  FINALLY she got it and did it once and then was done.

 After we bowled, we went and pet the Alpaca's.  Logan LOVED them! Lily was excited until she tried to feed one!  Then she wasn't sure! 




 After the Alpaca's we headed over to do the pinata.  Lily thought it was pretty cool to watch people hit it.  She hit it once and was done!  She was ready for the candy!  


 Next it was time to take a ride out and get our pumpkins and go through the hay bale maze.

Yes, this is the best we could do with a family picture!
 Lily in her element!  She LOVED the maze.  She did it all by herself!  She wanted to go through again!  I can't believe how fast she is growing up and how independent she is!


 Then we picked out our pumpkins and let the kids explore!  This year we let Lily pick our pumpkins all by herself.  That meant we have two small pumpkins, just big enough for Lily to carry all by herself!








It was a great day!  We always have a great time at the pumpkin patch!  Lily has already asked about next year!
