Pumpkin Patch

My, my what a difference a year makes for the pumpkin patch!  Last year they just wanted to eat the hay.

This year, Cooper tried to pick up the big pumpkins!    DSC04035  DSC04039DSC04034Cooper begging to ride the carousel.    DSC04040_edit

Charlotte starts out loving it.DSC04041

Although Cooper looks unsure, he really loved it. DSC04045

Cooper loved every bit of the carousel, including the mirrors and decoration in the center. DSC04048

After a few seconds this is how Charlotte ended up for the rest of the ride.  She wanted to sit on a different horse, but we wouldn't let her since it's not safe to walk around on the ride while it's moving. DSC04047

Then we wandered over to the petting zoo.  The kids LOVED this!  Charlotte loved feeding the animals once daddy showed her how. DSC04052_edit DSC04058_edit

Cooper got to feed them too. DSC04053_edit

But he wasn't so sure about it. DSC04055_edit2

They loved the bunny rabbits and kept going back to the cage.   DSC04059_edit

  The funniest was the mean turkey.  Cooper thinking it was a nice as a goat, put his hand on the cage.  The turkey quickly tried to nip at his fingers. DSC04071

Cooper pulled back in time but didn't appreciate the turkey trying to bite his finger. DSC04072_edit

Obviously telling me about the vicious turkey.  DSC04074_edit2

Charlotte didn't fair so well with the turkey and did get her finger nipped a bit.  We left the petting zoo soon after.  DSC04075_edit2

And went to the bounce house!  They had a blast and this would be a fun thing for a birthday party.  (See video at the end for more.)

Charlotte decided she needed a snack break.  DSC04090_edit

While Cooper went on a pony ride (after the carousel incident, we didn't want Charlotte thrown from a real horse because she gets upset).  See video below for more.DSC04095

They also loved the car ride and went on it twice.  See video for them laughing.  DSC04106_edit

We were too busy chasing them around and enjoying ourselves to do any 'posed' pictures of either the kids or all of us as a family.  I suppose we can go back another day and do this.  I'm just glad we had so much fun!
