Kelp's Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we took a trip out to Gnawbone (guhnawbonee for those in the know) to Kelp's Pumpkin Patch.  Kelp's seems to be just a family run pumpkin+ farm, except for one weekend a year in October they open it up to the public and turn it into a petting zoo and farm-style carnival.  Once Nana and Pop extended the invite, we thought it was a great way to spend an afternoon.  

It was fun to get up close to all the animals.  Harrison loved this guy, and we worked for a while at getting him to gobble. 

Harrison patiently waiting his turn to ride a pony.

He was thrilled to be back on a pony again, following his trip to West Baden.

Poor Henry just had to watch all afternoon from the Bob.

Hayride.  It was awesome dusty fun.  It went about 50 yards up a creek with about a foot of water in it, and Harrison thought that was about the coolest thing since he turned three. 

Like I said, it was a farm, but they threw in some carnival flare.  Here Uno was showing Harrison how to do it old-style. 

And we scored some pumpkins for carving and some gourds for ambiance at the house.

Mom & Dad, thanks for putting the excursion together.  It was a great way to spend a fall afternoon.
