This past weekend some friends invited us to Hinton's Orchards to go to a pumpkin patch and hayride. We had already bought a pumpkin but thought the trip would be a good family outing and chance to make some new friends :)
It was surprisingly cold that day, and it had rained alot the day before, but we still had a blast. Juliana loved the hayride and was very intrigued with the pumpkins. I didn't know the vines to the pumpkins hurt so Jonathan had to pull out two little splinters from my fingers...leave it to me :) After visiting the small and big pumpkin patches we returned to the little shop where they made all kinds of jams and pies. We went inside one of the grain storage silos that they had turned into a play area for the kids... pretty smart actually, they had a table set up like a sand box only it was corn - much easier to clean up!
We also visited the calves that were being weened from their moms. Juliana was also very intrigued by them and wanted to touch one but I was for sure she'd catch some disease so I stayed just out of her reach!
All in all we had a fantastic day and look forward to making this a yearly tradition! Thanks to the Burton's for inviting us!! There are too many photos to put right here so be sure to check out the slideshow on the right :)
