Pumpkin Pickin'

On Sunday, Daddy, Mommy and Waverly went to Gallrien Farms to pick pumpkins! It was a wonderful day to spend with our little family. The weather was very warm for this time of year and we enjoyed spending most of the day outside.


The farm was wonderful! First, we visited the petting zoo.

Waverly just adores animals, so this was right up her alley. We saw Llamas, sheep, a calf, and miniature horses. Waverly wasn't scared of anything! She would stretch that little arm out to pet the animals.







She especially loved the baby calf!



So sweet...


Up next, we visited the store. There was a giant pyramid built of straw bales for kids to play on. Since Waverly is a bit too young for that, we just let her sit around on the decorated store front for some picture time. She just didn't know what to think about all those pumpkins!

Ooooo, la la



Laughing at the other kids. Waverly loves to people watch!

We talked Daddy into playing a game! He used a sling shot to shoot little pumpkins and gourds into the field, aiming for the scarecrows! What fun!


Then it was time for our hay ride!
We piled onto the horse drawn wagon, settled ourselves down on stacks of hay and off we went to the pumpkin patch! The horses were so large! Waverly wasn't scared at all. She laughed and laughed at the young girls riding next to us.


The horses were so well-behaved. They knew exactly where we were going, having walked the path many times. The driver said, "Let's go, Boys" and off they went, taking our crew to the pumpkin patch.



The pumpkin patch was huge! There were so many pumpkins!


Waverly chose her pumpkin and Daddy picked it off the vine. We ended up with two pumpkins, all ready to be carved up for Halloween.

Our Pumpkin is sweetest of all!


Laughing out loud!
Something sure was funny!


Waverly discovered hay on the ride back from the pumpkin patch. She was highly interested in her strand of straw!



It did not taste good though!


Our pumpkins weighed in at 7 and 8 pounds!

We were all tuckered out after our big pumpkin adventure, but Little Waverly was out like a light! She fell asleep on the way home and then took a well-deserved nap! Now we just have to carve up some pumpkins for our little pumpkin to enjoy!
