Pumpkin Patch

Madison telling me about the chicken on the table.

Carson and the turkey.

She actually picked up this pumpkin and carried it about 3 feet!

Carson was so proud of himself up on the horse!

Waiting for his hayride.

We took the kids to a 'ranch' south of town. We had so much fun! The ranch is such a cute little place. There are horses, ponies, goats, chickens and rabbits that roam freely, a donkey, 2 ducks, a turkey and a sheep. The first thing we did when we got there is walk into the barn to look at the horses. As soon as Carson saw one he wanted to be carried. Madison, who loves horses, was also afraid of the horses. So we then walked around and took pictures and looked at the other animals. Madison especially loved running around with the chickens. For the rest of the evening, Carson insisted that he wanted to ride the horse. John and I were skeptical of this judging from his reaction to the other horses but he persisted. He did great! He sat perched up on the horse like it was the most natural thing in the world for him. Madison also loved petting the horse. At one point I chased her across the yard because she was determined to go pet the horse again. The place also hosts birthday parties. We are debating a joint party for the kids next summer at the ranch.
