Picture Perfect Pumpkin Patch Day

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Yesterday, we awoke to a beautiful, sunshine filled sky. Perfect day to get some pumpkins for the front stoop. M & M and their parents picked us up and we headed south to Canby (Oregon farm country). I took some great photos which I will post for your viewing pleasure with some captions to amuse and edify.

ANIMALS:

Goats in trees, a possible new sitcom, about the lengths a goat will go to for food.

Pavlov’s Rabbits. Honest to God. These rabbits were lolling around in the pen. Someone put a quarter in the food machine. They heard ka-ching, ka-ching, and they were at that feeding tube.

Here is a hog eating like a hog.

RIDES, ACTIVITIES AND OTHER DIVERSIONS

Here are Mia and Milo in the nut house. It is a building filled with hazel nuts. Children were having so much fun trying to walk on these nuts, rolling around in them, etc.

In this shot, you can see Mia has lost her first tooth. It hung around for almost a year, dangling and driving us crazy! Finally, last week, it came out.

The Great Hay Slide. Mia is on the right and Milo is getting ready to jettison on the left. The slides ends in a pile of hay – fun!!

Then there was the always popular jump house. I love the look of pure joy on Milo’s face.
