pumpkin patch

Every year we try to make it down to Roca Berry Farms Pumpkin Patch. We went this last weekend. The weather was perfect and we had a great time.

David was singled out as the best pig caller and got to cheer on the green pig in the pig races. His pig won and he got a handkerchief and pig nose as a prize!! He did a great job.
He also rode on the BONE CRUSHER-- a huge monster truck-- with Dan. They had fun, although Dan said David was a little concerned a few times when it seemed like the truck was going to just flip right over.
The farm has lots of little haunted houses--David is finally getting old enough to go through some of them with Daddy. Dan would preview the haunted house and then go through it with David if he thought it wasn't too scary. David doesn't like the really scary stuff, but can handle the mild ones.

The girls and I went to the bouncy houses and fed the animals while Daddy and David did their big boy stuff.

We also went on the hayrack ride, picked out some pumpkins and wandered through the corn maze.
It was a good day, but we had some grumpy tired children by the time we left.
