We had such a good time at the pumpkin patch - despite Lucy crying in the picture. :) It is a rare moment that my kids will pose for a picture now days...they have gotten too sick of it over the years! :) They have a couple of the coolest old rusty trucks that I love and have high hopes for, but they are just too excited to stop and let ME play! I am okay...I still had fun and plenty of pictures to take! Sniff Sniff.
Here is a rare moment, so I had to get it! Cute little Sadie striking a pose!!
After a disgusting (outhouse) potty break - the girls were appalled that it was all just piled up in there - we headed over to a fun water race with water pumps. We seriously could have stayed here for hours! They were having SO MUCH FUN loading the pumpkins up and pumping the water pump to watch them slide the pumpkins down the drain! They loved it. Two were set up towards each other, so you could race! So the other persons pumpkins then dumped into your bucket of water! It was too cute!! Finally we figured we would give some other kids a turn. And we were off to feed the goats!
Of course Lucy held onto her goat food since the moment we got it! She was so excited to feed them! Sadly as she was running over to the goats, she totally tripped. But got over it soon, after seeing the goats so close.
After the goats we RAN over to the horses and fed them some carrots. The girls, and the horses, LOVED that! Except Sadie was freaked out when the horse started drooling orange spit! They seriously chomped those things up in two seconds! Lucy on the other hand didn't mind at all and was right up bonking heads with the horses! She has no reservations with animals!
Then we were off to the maze. It seemed that a lot of people had created their own shortcuts through, so we made it through quite easily. Even with all the kids running off in their own directions! "No Mommy, you have to turn this way!" and points the opposite direction that they are going! So independent!
We had fun picking out a pumpkin to paint.
And of course we had fun painting them!
Lucy is so focused.
Nice hair right!?! It was way windy! We got to the car feeling like we needed to brush our hair and take a shower! Camping feet! YUCK!
Once again, we had to cut Lucy short of her time. It always seems as though we have to pull her away from each activity. Though she is so sweet and comes willingly. Especially since we are luring her with another fun activity. Her attention span is much larger than Sadie's. Sadie does one thing for a while and then is quickly ready for the next! So funny!
Then the girls each picked out a pumpkin to take home and carve. We bought our pumpkins, and of course we had to buy some homemade ice cream! My favorite!
So, carving the pumpkins was not their favorite thing. Sadie took one look and SMELL of the pumpkin and would have nothing to do with it!
Lucy thought it was "cold" but then got a little into it. But after a while, they were off playing and left me to do all their dirty work!
So I tried to see if Sadie wanted to help draw the face, but she was playing in her kitchen and was getting dinner ready for our "walking Daddy." (apparently that means our REAL Daddy and not pretend - since her and Lucy are always playing Mommy and they are ALWAYS having to remind me that they are playing after I answer their "Mommy's.") So I didn't even get any help there! But it was all worth it when I called them over for dinner and to see the final results and Sadie says, "WOW MOM!! You are AMAZING! You are the best Mom in the whole world! How did you do that!?!" And then she gave me a big hug! What a great way to end a great day!
Mom: (Not pictured and quickly thrown together) Queen of Hearts. I only wore a crown and had a heart attached on my belly - for the baby ;)
But as we were leaving she said, "Iss(it's) not scary!" Then I didn't even bother taking any pictures of the tarantulas and hissing cock roaches! Yuck! Then we went over for a fun little hay ride. We got to see ostriches and even a bunch of their eggs! It was fun. Janae, Sadie and Evka.
Averee, Lucy, Jazlynn.
We stopped by to see the Longhorns (woohoo!) and once again, Lucy had no reservations! 
Don't worry, I made her stand back after that! Scary! They were fighting over the food and everything, and she is just laughing! Lucy, Longhorn, Jazlynn.
Vivian and Sadie.
They loved seeing the baby animals! 
Oh look, a CUTE picture of the two of them together! :) 
Lucy would not turn around (as she is standing there she is saying, "No turn around." and Sadie smiled for a second but I guess I wasn't fast enough!) After that we went over and saw a demonstration of how they milk a cow. 
The kids were fascinated! 
It was fun! They loved seeing the milk come out! When we were leaving and Lucy caught my eye, her face lit up and she cheered and clapped! She was in Heaven! We got to see so many animals! (Sorry there aren't a ton of pictures of Sadie; 1) she was off with the big kids being so independent and 2) I have to stay close to Lucy since she will try to climb right in with any of the animals! Plus Sadie would look and then be off to the next thing, whereas Lucy, well she could stay there forever. 
We even went into the Fairy woods. They had little fairy statues down this trail in the trees. Funny and cute. 
They had a butterfly house, which we saw 3 total! One was flying around, one got smashed by a kid knocking over a garden globe thing and it fell on it, and one was on the ceiling. Not too exciting! 
Sadie loved seeing the owls, but I didn't get a picture of it. I didn't realize she liked it so much until she kept talking about it today. Oops. Then the trip ended with a "tragedy." We were watching two desert tortoises "wrestle," when the one on bottom got annoyed and turned around and was pushing the one into the side of the cage and final pushed him over!
I had never seen turtles be so active before! But the kids were upset! Especially Lucy! She was crying and saying, "Oh NO! Turtle fell down!! Turtle needs a band aid!" She was so upset! So we went and told one of the farmers and she said that indeed they are mating and she was just out there 5 minutes ago to flip him back over! Funny! We had a blast! We came home and were pooped! We had such a fun time at the farm! We made the mistake of talking to them about it before bed, and they just were to excited and then had the hardest time falling asleep! Even after such a long day! It was just too fun!
