On Saturday, our friends, the Cooks and Millers, invited us to a pumpkin patch just outside of Columbia. It was a beautiful fall day, if not a little warm, so the Littlefields headed out for another adventure!
When we arrived, we were surprised to see that there was admission fee for adults ($5), but Miles was still free (< 12 months). The poor Early-Millers had to pay $15 for the triplets, plus another $10 for themselves.
Here is a picture of Miles in his outfit, reminiscent of Hunter S. Thompson
First, we saw a donkey that was part of the petting zoo. The petting zoo was mostly a bunch of goats, some turkeys, and chickens. There were two little pigs I felt sorry for because they were in a smallish vat with a screen over it. The donkey screeched at Miles and he just stared it down...
Then we took a hayride around the farm and got to see some animals and a small lake. Miles had a great time on the tractor!
We hung out at the small lake for a little while. Little Thomas got into the [spring break] spirit of things!
And the triplets were hamming it up...so cute! Here is an adorable snapshot of Eva and Alex.
We ended our day at the "pumpkin patch" where there were actual pumpkins for sale (by the pound). We didn't actually go home with a pumpkin because we honestly didn't want to pay them anymore money. I figured we could get a pumpkin either on our way to Moberly sometime (as we did last year) or at the supermarket.
Still, Miles enjoyed our outing and he got to see a lot of new things! (BTW, his onesie says: "I'd rather be reading Faulkner").
