The Big Red Barn...

and Pumpkin Farm!

John and I took advantage of what was a beautiful fall day in Nebraska yesterday and went to this cute little pumpkin patch. We had such a fun time enjoying all of the activites that there were, and watching how happy and excited Makenna was about everything.

Makenna was serenaded by a nice man while we rode on the little hayrack ride to pick out our pumpkin. She was quite entertained, and even started hitting her leg along with the music! We got a good laugh out of that one.


I think Makenna's favorite part was the little petting zoo. She is definitely not shy around animals, and loved being able to pet, feed, and chase the baby goats around.


We are so glad that we decided to go to the pumpkin patch rather than just picking up some pumpkins at the grocery store (like John originally wanted to do), and I think the pumpkin patch will be added to our "must do" lists of traditions.

I'm so glad you guys decided to go to a pumpkin patch! I think it definitely adds to the fall experience and then you are so proud of the pumpkins you chose!
