So then Blythe and Ethan were both going on and on about wanting to ride the ponies all morning long. We made it to the pumpkin patch around 11 in the morning and straight for the ponies. And then (of course), Ethan didn't want to ride one. So we had Blythe ride one first.
After Ethan verified that it was, in fact, safe to ride the pony, THEN he wanted to ride one. So now he's proud of himself for riding a horse.
Afterwards, the kids wanted to do the hayride out to the pumpkin patch.
We didn't really want to buy a pumpkin though. They are expensive at the pumpkin patch and they wouldn't even last until Halloween since it was only October 2nd. So we were hoping the kids wouldn't pitch a fit about not getting a pumpkin. Instead we told them we were just going to look for the biggest pumpkin we could see and the smallest. We found some big ones. This is the biggest one Blythe could pick up.
She "stole" the smallest one she could find (she put it in her pocket...it was SO small!).
We headed over to the petting zoo of farm animals (where Ethan was scared to pet any of them) and through the toddler maze and then we were done with our first visit to the pumpkin patch this season in just an hour and 15 minutes (we had to get home to watch the VT vs NC State game!)

If it fits in your pocket, it's fair game right? :)
I saw some really nice size pumpkins at Lowe's. Much cheaper than the pumpkin patch! Sounds like you guys had fun!
Love you,
Mom
