Pumpkin Patch

So yesterday, we joined with some of our dearest friends and went to Frederick to a farm/pumpkin patch called Jumbo's. Cindy suggested that us, the Childs, and the Astles join them there for some pumpkin picking fun. As we Campbells have a pumpkin carving party every year, we thought it would be great to actually go out to the pumpkin fields and pick our pumpkin victim! They also had other fun activities for kids. They had a few baby animals that the kids could look at and pet through the fence, among them a calf, billy goats, baby pigs, and sheep. They had pony rides and hay rides and a corn maze.

We decided to give Jasmine another chance on a pony and she absolutely loved it. Her friends Ellie Astle and Ryan Child also had a go and it was a great success. For those of you who read the story about the last time Jasmine rode a pony (the 4th of July) and had a tantrum, we are happy to report that this time, when it was over she was OK. No fits of crying, no stomping of feet.

We found 3 pumpkins in the field and brought them home, one for me, one for Lorne and a small one for Jasmine. She carried her pumpkin all around and even helped pick it off the vine. She loved walking through the pumpkin vines and pointing out all the pumpkins. She also loved the hayride. It was so fun to watch her run around and enjoy everything. I am telling you, kids make everything better!

We went out to lunch afterwards and the food wasn't great but the company was so nice! We really enjoyed spending time with people we love and value as friends.
