bishop's pumpkin farm

on kevin's birthday, we decided to head to bishop's pumpkin farm. it was a very windy, cold day, but kyri really wanted to take daddy to see the pumpkins. she still tells us everyday, "i went to the pumpkin patch!" when we first got there we saw that they had a pony ride...so exciting! they didn't the ponies last years, so i knew that it was a must. kyri couldn't wait to ride a pony! as i'm sure you can see from the video i posted, she was so brave. she had a huge smile on her face and was such a big girl! after the pony ride, we spent some time petting the goats, jumping in the hay, going down the big slide, and ridding on the ever so popular train. kyri was actually scared to go on the train this time, but not the horse...a live, huge animal. silly girl. she was fine once we started going. after the train ride, we hopped on the hay ride to take us out to the pumpkin patch. we actually found the perfect pumpkins right away...a big one for daddy, medium for mommy, and a just-the-right-size for kyri. by this time, the wind was getting to be too much. we grabbed a yummy treat and some apple cider to go and we were on our way home. it was a very eventful few hours and we all had a great time. now we are looking forward to carving our pumpkins for halloween!

now that is one happy girl on her pony!

she just looks so big to me...where did my baby go?

her daddy always knows how to make her giggle!

kyri looooves those smelly baby goats.

probably my favorite picture of the day...beautiful girl.

looking at the giant pumpkins with daddy on the train ride.

i could look at those blue eyes all day long...oh wait, i do.

looking for the most perfect pumpkin in the whole patch.

awww I can't wait when Kaiya gets old enough to enjoy the pumpkin patch. You guys always seem to do such fun family activities. I am so glad you have them both.
