Our own little Pumpkin Festival

It was not the prettiest day in Indy but we desperately needed to get out of these cramped apartments so Steph found a Fall/Pumpkin festival nearby and we headed out.  Turns out nobody else thought it was a good time to go so we had the whole place to ourselves.  It was quite nice and I'm pretty sure the boys had an excellent time.

Started with a spin in the pumpkin.

Then the slowest slide ever off the tractor. Not much of a thrill when you are barely moving so that didn't last long.

Hide all you want Cooper but I will get your picture! :)

Then onto the main event, the petting zoo.   This was quite the experience.  We were let into a pen that had about 8 goats, 2 llamas and a camel.  Remember that no other visitors had been there to feed them that day so as soon as we got in there, bam, they were on us.  Carter, being the smallest, got the brunt of one goat who jumped up on him and hoofed his face.  From that point on, I held Carter while he cried in my ear, "Let's get out of here."  Coop was really into it and fended for himself.  He loved feeding them all.  Even with the llamas (who were my height) he would reach up his little hand and feed away.  By the way, have you ever pet a llama?  They are sooooo soft!  I couldn't believe it.  We also had a run in with the camel.  My friend Steph got a pretty good picture of the camel nuzzling into my neck from behind.  Scared the heck out of me but we had quite a laugh!

not many pictures since I was holding the food, Carter, and trying to take pictures :-)

Haystack maze that was not really a big hit.

Then for a little hayride around the farm where they scolded us for buying any produce at the grocery store.

I tell ya, its hard to take clear, crisp pictures in a moving, bumpy wagon!

And finally the corn maze...which we got lost in...and super muddy...and ended up coming out the entrance :-)
