Bates Nut Farm

Again this year we hit up the pumpkin patch. To Mike they all look like balls to play with, so he had a blast.

We walked all over checking out the "big macs"

Daddy's rule is you have to be able to pick up a pumpkin to get it, so here is Michael picking up his pumpkin.

We also saw all of the animals, and fed some of them. Every one else was also feeding the animals, so most of them wouldn't really take the food, but the lama did.

Farmer Mike in his farmer pants, checking out the pig.

This emu spent the whole time we were watching it eating invisible food in the air. Maybe it was trying to convince some one to throw it some food. Matt tried, but emus are not good catchers.

Nana, Michael, Rhiannon and Daddy looking at the animals. We also went with Papa, Grandma, and Grandpa and Uncle Kevin too.

There's Papa and Grandma.

Mikey really wanted to eat the hay. He kept telling me "ih goo" (it's good)

Waiting to ride the ponies.

Rhiannon with Daddy and Michael with Papa. Every one had a good ride. As soon as Mike was put on the pony he was rocking and kicking like "lets go". When the ride was done he cried and was reaching for the pony wanting more. Papa had a hard time walking away, he really wanted to pay for another ride and stand in that line again to put him back on.




Uncle Kevin and Rhiannon found a good spot on a big rock to check out Bates Nut Farm from above.

And then we all watched Grandma ride of into the sun set.

Another fun day.
