On Sunday morning we joined Barney, Mitch, Norma, Dan, Qing, and their munchkins at the pumpkin patch in Ajo for some wagon riding, pumpkin picking, animal petting, corn dog eating fun.
The babies are all almost the same age, so it's fun to get them all together. Jing-Yi and Amy were born on exactly the same day at the very same hospital. They are kind of like twins.
Pumpkin picking was fun. You ride a giant wagon train out into the fields and then roam around picking out the perfect pumpkin and then hitch a ride back on the wagons. We chose a huge perfect pumpkin, this sort of awesome squat pumpkin that all the girls took turns sitting on, and then one tiny pumpkin for Amy.
When we were done, we came back to the little pumpkin festival area where there was a corn maze (maize?) and lots of fair-style booths of food and souvenirs.
The following photo was not as carefree and easy as it looks
The 4-H set up a small petting zoo with chickens, goats, a llama, bunnies, cows, and turkeys. Amy is familiar with all of these animals, of course, having met them at Mule Creek, but she was just a leeeetle aprehensive about the goat this morning. Maybe it was those freak-show pupils that goats have.
Stop looking at me, goat.
Check out this pumpkin that we saw just as we were leaving. See the shadow? I think it looks exactly like a halloween-y cat with a long tail standing on a post. It was just the curly stem of the next door pumpkin, but I couldn't stop looking at it.
Here's our haul. It was a very fun way to buy our pumpkins, and it was sure fun to get all those little girls together.
Happy Birthday, Pop Pop!!!! We love you!
