Pumpkin Patch Play Part III: AN-I-MAAAAALS


The goats were our next stop for the afternoon.  The girls pumped some water for them to drink


and then they fed them too. 


Xandra was very excited about feeding the goats.


Theia was not excited about feeding the goats, but agreed to try it with some help from momma.


Whoever makes the signs at Gaver Tree farm is funny!  I couldn't resist a picture of this sign.


The shots below are just for Grandma DeShon.


We tried our best to get shots with each of the girls with the roosters/hens for Grandma, but getting little girls AND roosters to cooperate was just too much.  Here's the best we could do Grandma D:




 These two turkeys seemed to get along very well.


Aliyah's favorite for the day were the ducks.  She kept saying "ducks, ducks, ducks."


I think Joe liked the donkey the best.  Draw your own conclusions.


He does have a cute face, doesn't he?


Theia did NOT like the pigs.




The rubber ducky races were a hit for everyone.


Xandra was the only one who could operate the pump,


but that didn't seem to bother the other two girls.  


They just enjoyed playing in the water.


The BIG bumpy slide was a highlight of the day.


The big girls remembered it from last year and went again and again and again, all by themselves.


Joe took Aliyah and she loved it as much as the big girls.

Theia was the most fun to watch tackle the slide.  Here's a video of her (after Theia comes down there's some video of another girl, who we do not know, coming down the slide.  Joe thought it was Xandra until she popped out of the end of the slide.  We don't have any video editing capabilities, so you can save yourself 15 seconds by just turning the video off after you watch Theia, although I know some of you will continue watching now just out of curiosity.  Go ahead, but don't say I didn't warn you!):


After the slide we stopped to climb some hay bales, took some pictures on a pumpkin,


and rode a hayride out to the pumpkin patch.


By that time, everyone was all tuckered out and we called it a day.
