Ball! Ball! Ball!

     After several failed attempts at going to a pumpkin patch in October (rain, they were only open on the weekends, BYU football games...), we finally made it last Friday. It actually turned out to be a pretty good day to go - no rain and we had the place to ourselves! Despite the fact that he was freezing (the wind was incredibly nippy), Caden seemed to enjoy himself for our short venture around the grounds. I mean, seriously, how could this kid not love a who field full of "balls" as far as his little eyes could see?!

Not excited about being contained for a photo op.

Also, on the grounds, they had a bunch of farm animals! Caden was so excited to see all the animals he knows from his books in real life. The fact that they actually made noises caught him off guard a bit though...apparently my baa-ing sheep doesn't hold true to the actual thing. :)

Meeting the goats:

 

And the chickens! 

"Mom, they're REAL!"

 

   

 They also had sheep, rabbits, and pigs...but we were too busy meeting them to take pictures apparently. 

And then our long trek back to the car...

Stopping every few feet to get a another "ball".

 

 

  

 

 

He's trying so hard to climb everything these days!

 

A successful day at the pumpkin patch!
