Pumpkin Patch Madness!

Hi!  This is the "Little Cowboy".  Mommy, Meme T and Dee Dee took me to the "Down on the Farm" Pumpkin Patch yesterday.  Oh boy, was it fun!  And even though the TV predicted lots of rain, it didn't rain one drop......well, not until we were loading up the pumpkins to go home.  Which was a good thing because I was on a quest to bring home the "biggest pumpkin" -- just like Charlie Brown!

 I couldn't wait to try out the slides!  

 I'm not afraid - this is fun!

Rock climbing is my specialty. 

 "Molly Moo" was interesting but I'll leave the milking to Mommy.

 Now sand is something I can relate to!

 I can solve this hay maze - no problem at all!

 Come on guys, follow me!

 This should be interesting......

 Oh wow!  Lets do it again!

 I'm going to teach Meme how to do it....

 You did it Meme!!  I'm going up again.

 Here I come!

This is the ultimate in slides.  

 Slides and corn go together like hamburgers and french fries~

 Feeding the goats got me tickled.  

 Pigs are a lot like me....they like playing in mud!

 Awwww....I wanted to take this baby calf home and give it to Pappy.

 This is definitely a BIG pumpkin but not the one I'm looking for.   No way would Charlie Brown bring home a wooden pumpkin. NO WAY!

 I'm ready to go hunt for pumpkins but Meme and Dee Dee are into taking photos. Someone please tell them that cowboys do not have time to pose for pictures!  We have more important things to do - like rope horses and build fences.

 Okay, this is my last photo shoot for the day!  And I mean it!

 Hooray, here comes the hay ride!  I have waited a lifetime for this moment.  At last I will get to search the fields for the biggest pumpkin in the whole world.

 Mommy needs to stop making me giggle.  I mean.....will people take me seriously if they see this picture?

 Okay, time to put my plan in place.  Wait....I don't have a plan.  I'm playing it by ear today.  It's the cowboy thing to do.

 No, these pumpkins are to small - or to rotten - or to orange - or to bumpy.

WAIT - there it is - I see it!!

It was hiding under all the vines - but I found it!!  

 Hurry mommy, lets get it to the wagon before the "spookies" come.  I know, there are no real "spookies" but lets hurry anyway.

 Meme, Dee Dee and Mommy all found pumpkins but I found the biggest one!  

 Thank you Lord for keeping the rain in the clouds and for letting me find the Biggest pumpkin north of the border!   Mommy, what's a border??

Yikes!  There may not be "spookies" but there are gigantic black spiders in the field.  See how brave I am Charlie Brown?  Uh...lets see how fast this wagon can roll, Mr. Tractor Driver!

While Meme and Mommy hauled the pumpkins to the car, Dee Dee and I took a short detour because.......

... I had to try going down head first into the sea of corn in the baby bin....... 

 since I wanted to see how a mouthful of corn tasted.  Let me tell you - it was pure yucky with a bit of crunch!

Then it was time to give the horse a good gallop.  Giddy-up horse! Which reminds me....I'm as hungry as a horse!  McDonalds here I come!

But first --- the gift shop. Mommy and Meme met us back at the store.   Adults always want to shop.  I tried telling them that cowboys don't need new t-shirts to wear - cowboys need tractors, and horses, and hay, and four-wheelers, and cows.  But gee, I get no respect around here!  At least there are hamburgers, apples, and french fries on the horizon...

So long for now.....

The Little Cowboy
