The Family Farm Pumpkin Patch / 01-OCT

After breakfast on Saturday morning, we drove to Glen Rose, AR, to visit the pumpkin patch at the Family Farm - a Christian retreat center.  The first thing Logan and Kayleigh headed to was the green train.  They had a great time riding around the farm.

We then went over to the big slide in the haystack.  The guys had fun going down the slide and landing in the hay.  Small pumpkins were hidden in the hay, and they found a bunch.  Kayleigh has one of the pumpkins she found.

 Logan enjoyed climbing up the bales of hay to get to the top of the slide.  He's quite a "mountain goat."

Our next stop (maybe stop is not the right word - cause we really kept moving) was the hayride.  We rode around the farm and up through some of the woods.  We then disembarked (instead of stopped) at the carousel.  All of us had fun riding the carousel.

After the carousel, we went next door to the zip line and swing.  Logan had a great time coming down the zip line.

Kayleigh and Gram are all smiles after their ride down the zip line.

Kayleigh enjoyed playing on the swing.

There were regular horses and some Shetland ponies on the farm.  Logan enjoyed petting this Shetland - who's not a whole lot bigger than Bug their dog.

Gram got to lead Kayleigh around on Cricket the horse.

We then went to the petting zoo.  Logan tried to catch the little pot-bellied pig - but no luck.  However, there were puppies who loved being petted.  Logan and Kayleigh were more than happy to oblige.

After the petting zoo, we ate our picnic lunch at a table under the trees.  It was delicious!  Thanks Gram for packing us such a good lunch.

We then walked around to see some of the other items on the farm.  The guys enjoyed the picture cutouts.  Here's cowboy Logan:

And cowgirl Kayleigh:

We did stop long enough to get a picture of the four of us.

Next visit was to the pumpkin patch where we all got to pick out a pumpkin.  Here are Logan and Kayleigh with our pumpkins.

We then took our pumpkins to the car and headed back to HSV.  Thanks Family Farm (and Stan and Donna May) for a great morning.
