That Time of Year Again

3 words: I love fall!


Yes, this is my favorite time of the year. The colors, the weather, the anticipation of holidays, and even football. But most of all, I love going to the pumpkin patch. This year we were having a hard time trying to fit it in but in the end, we were able to go with some from our homeschool group. The patch is called, "Impossible Acres" and to tell you the truth, I never did find out why. But I do know that the woman who runs it is a Christian and has written a book about ministering for Gospel for Asia. The name of her book is Even Donkeys Speak. It's written for chidren 7-12, which is right up our alley. It will be our bedtime book, now that we have finished Mary Poppins. Okay, and speaking of Mary Poppins - That is one wierd book! But, anyway, back to the pumpkin patch. Most pumpkin patches have fun little activities but what about this one:

Yep, and there were actual examples...



There were also hay mazes and tunnels, pumpkin choosing, tractor ride and the like. But Grace and Emily's favorite was the petting animal farm. So here were all these cute animals - bunnies, piglets, goslings, pygmy kids, chicks, a calf and their adult counterparts. But guess what their favorite was? Kittens!

My favorites were the kids. No, not mine but the mama goat's. This one in particular was so cute! He climbed the hay bales, bleating (do goats bleat?) at the top of his lungs. Adorable! I want goats!

And since it was a PUMPKIN patch, I'd better throw a pumpkin pic in.

The petting farm kind of stole the show......
