Jerry and I took the girls to the Pumpkin Patch in Collins, MS, otherwise known as Mitchell Farms. It is so great, and I CANNOT wait to take the girls there next year. There is so much to do other than just going to pick out your pumpkins. They have an animal barn that you can walk through to see all the animals. They have goats that you can feed, and a big slide! Also, they had a pool full of corn, we tried putting the girls in it (as you can see in a picture below), however, they did not like it because some older kids jumped in it and scared them! You could go pick sunflowers out in the field, and they had a maze in the shape of the word Mississippi. It was really neat!! They also had a place where you could go inside, cool off, and eat. I am so thankful that our girls get to experience things like this, even if they don't remember it, we have the pictures to show them. The pictures below are not in order; so starting from the end of the day....
Ella Kate WIDE AWAKE on the way home from the pumpkin patch...pretty typical for her, she fights sleep! I think she talked the whole way home.
Eva Marie on the other hand, SACKED OUT the moment we put the car in drive and started heading out. She slept the whole way back too.
Sweet picture of Ella Kate
You'll see in a lot of these pictures that Eva Marie will put anything she finds in her mouth!
Eva Marie will even eat flowers!
Nana (aka Bethanie's mom) taught Eva Marie to say "Dog" the last time they were in town. And, she hasn't stopped saying it since then. Anything with 4 legs is considererd a dog! I think she actually saw a dog when Jerry took this picture.
Pool of corn...not happy about being in it!
Funny girl!
Eating the corn...
