Pumpkin Patch

Evie and I went to the pumpkin patch with our Sunday School class this morning. Unfortunately, Daddy and Andrew went to the pediatrician instead to get a new antibiotic for a sinus infection. We had a rough start once we got to Maple Lane Farms. Evie got stung by a bee while we were walking from the car to the ticket booth. Her poor finger swelled to twice its normal size. She got some ice and some cuddle time and felt better by the time the hay ride was ready to leave. The hay ride took us all over the farm and then to the pumpkin patch. Evie was excited to see hay bales and cows. They had longhorns and Evie asked me, "Mommy, why do those cows have shovels on their ears?" I guess she had never seen cows with horns before. We picked out a pumpkin for Andrew and then Evie found a tiny one for herself. The hayride and pumpkin picking were a big distraction to her painful finger, but once we were back in the car she was ready to get home and let Daddy kiss it better.

Andrew was so excited about the pumpkin, but he thought it was a ball and threw it on the driveway. It survived, but he isn't allowed to touch it now.
