fun on the farm...

on friday, we visited a new pumpkin patch in harpersville, alabama. of course the pumpkin patch itself was neat, but old baker farm is a live, functioning farm! so we got to enjoy other things too.

i got to experience REAL cotton, growing on the bush. daddy & i talked about how grammymommie picked cotton when she was a little girl. i liked to look at the cotton, but i was somewhat skittish of touching it!

i enjoyed running through (and OveR!) the hay maze. it was a little itchy, but i was having so much fun that i tried to ignore that. just look at the photos below here & you'll see what i mean!!

we took a hay-ride behind a john deere tractor to get to the actual pumpkin patch. we searched & searched for the perfect pumpkins -- this farm had some really unique choices! during much of my pumpkin search, i also inspected the prickleberry things that seemed to be EvERYwhERE!!

when we finished choosing our pumpkins, the tractor drove us back to the field where everyone had parked so that we could unload our treasures. then mommy, daddy & i took a little jog though the corn maze. we tried to take pictures, but i was SO excited & running so fast -- mommy & daddy were afraid they might lose me. the corn maze was defnitely FuN, but just not a good photo op!!

WoW! i was so tired when we finished our visit to old baker farm. and i am already requesting to go back again soon!
