Pumpkin Farm

We decided to try a different pumpkin farm than last year and found a really good one! Free admission, cheap pumpkins/gourds/squash, and lots for Luca to do. All of their pumpkins are right at the front, and they had some Huge ones!


Kid patted them and laid his head on them and loved them and did not want to look at any of the other, smaller ones. He clearly preferred the ones he could have hollowed out and made a home in.

Go Duckies, Go!





Eventually we managed to tear him from them and wandered further back. There was a set of four water pumps on a recycling system so he had fun pumping water and sending the little rubber duckies swimming down the chute.













Baby cow thought Grandma was delicious!


 They had a baby cow and a couple piglets in a little fenced in area. Luca wasn't quite sure at first about any of them, and didn't ever really warm up to the cow. But the pigs were eating and sticking their tongues out to do it. So now when you ask him what a pig says he sticks his tongue in and out. It's funny, so I don't correct him (I make a lousy pig noise anyway)  ;) 




 
 Then they had a "Fun Barn" with a pyramid of hay bales and bins full of corn kernels for kids to play in. While he never strayed far from the door, he did enjoy being in it and throwing the kernels around.





 And going around to the back of the corn bin, we found a GIANT pig eating all the kernels kids had thrown out of the bin. Just going to town. So Luca, being the sweet little boy he is, tried to feed him =)  Oddly, the pig wasn't interested in Luca's little handful of corn... But seriously, that pig was huge. It clearly lived happily supplementing it's diet in the Fun Barn.


 

So, we grabbed some pumpkins on the way out. Some Luca sized ones, one big one that we will carve later (Stay Tuned, should be fun!) and a huge butternut squash for $2. Did I mention this place was super cheap? We'll be keeping this place in mind for next year, or later this month with his cousins!
