Pumpkin Patch

We visited the Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch with Auntie Na and Uncle Ro today. The weather was unseasonable warm but that's better than being cold! Since Chris and I had been to Chester's Party Barn & Farm a few years before I was looking for something different. I really wanted an actual patch to walk through and unfortunately we didn't get that here. Next year, we'll have to make the drive to the real patch in Norman but we still had fun walking around the farm. Jackson got to see some animals and even ride his first pony. He was feeling a little under the weather and wasn't too keen on riding with me beside him so the guy told me to hop on! So there I was, riding my first pony (at least as an adult). I found it to be quite hilarious. Not sure if AJ felt the same way though. Oh well, it was one for the record books.
After the pony ride we got in line for the hay ride. Not only was this Jackson's first hay ride, it was Uncle Ro's as well! I was pretty excited for both of them. We got prime seats since we were first in line and we got to hunt for pumpkins along the ride. It was fun seeing the older kids having such a good time. Jackson wasn't too interested that he was on a flatbed filled with hay being pulled by a tractor but there's always next year!
After the hay ride we headed to the front to pick out our pumpkins. Jackson enjoyed holding his big pumpkin on the way to the car. We got a couple of cute little guys too.
On the way home, we made a quick pit stop at Pops to get some yummy soda. It was a really fun day and I'm glad Auntie Na and Uncle Ro could come along.
