PUMPKIN PICKING AT ORT FARMS




Sarah and her best friend Brianna spent the day pumpkin picking at ort farms in flanders. We had the most spectacular day. The weather was fantastic mild enough for a tshirt which is far from normal in October around here. The girls had a giggly hay bale tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch. The bumpy ride had them laughing hysterical and really set the mood for some fun in the fields. The farm is set up for some great photo opportunities and lucky for us the girls were in a posing mood. We love all the props for pictures and the climb on hay piles for the kids. They also have a petting zoo with bunnies, ducks, donkeys, horses, cows, goats and pigs. Every year we seem to hit it just right to see the baby piglets. There were nine of them and they were down right adorable. The donkeys loved the attention of the girls and even got jealous when they left him. He was making a heck of a racket trying to draw them back to him. One of the goats thought Sarah’s hair must have been straw because he started to chomp away on it. You should have seen how mad she was. I thought it was the funniest thing especially when she started telling him exactly what she thought of him. My little sunshine always rewards with her laughter and sparkling personality. I cherish these times and hope we always have this much fun together.
