On Sunday we went to the Freeman Pumpkin Farm (http://www.azpumpkin.com/). I have been excited about this trip for quite awhile now. We went with our friends Jose and Jill and their two kids. This pumpkin farm was very quaint and authentic - they grow ALL their own pumpkins right there on the farm! There were all sorts of fun actvities for the kiddos!
First, there were the mini-tractors... they were real John Deere tractors! Izzy loved them, although she was too short to reach the pedals, that's why she brought Daddy with her!
There was also a merry-go-round... I was really surprised by how much Izzy liked it! I thought for sure she would be scared. I was wrong, she loved it! (Ok, she's not exactly smiling in this picture, but trust me, she LOVED it!)
Next up, the petting zoo. Every four-legged animal that we saw Izzy said, "Puppy?!" She didn't exactly understand goat, horse, etc. :) I think she liked playing with the goats because they didn't get over excited and run away like puppies tend to do. She was pretty obsessed and she cried when we had to leave. (Doesn't she look like a little person??)
There was also a tiny train:
Another "puppy" as Izzy called it

After a long, hard search we finally found two pumpkins to take home! P.s. a lot of the pumpkins were still green because we had an early freeze this year. Don't worry - they will "ripen" and turn orange... so Aaron promises... :) Oh well, it was more about the size anyway!
At the end of the day, we were one exhausted, but VERY happy family!! It was a WONDERFUL day -I just love things like this, can you tell?!
We are ready for Halloween... well mostly! I still need to finish Izzy's costume and we have to CARVE our new pumpkins... but we'll get there! :)
