Bartels Farm Pumpkin Patch ~

 We had a chance to go to the pumpkin patch on Friday, only this time Daddy and Great Grandma Anita were able to join us.  This is the first time Justin has ever been able to join us for pumpkin patch fun, but more interesting, is the fact that Great Grandma Anita, being 88 years old, had never been in a corn maze....so that was our first stop!
 We hit several dead ends, but eventually found our way out.  You can see Jordyn collecting all kinds of dried corn booty from the adventure...in fact we all took home some corn from the maze.  Even GG took one home for her scarecrow!
 We then picked out some pumpkins...Jordyn picked out 15 little ones, and Daddy picked out 4 big ones....never mind the 5 we already have at home.  Hey, when it comes to Halloween, you can never have too many pumpkins! :)
 This is the third year we have been here, and each year they change things around a bit, which keeps things fun.  They also have different animals to pet each year too, but this year, the animals seemed particularly friendly.
 Justin made friends with this black goat, while Jordyn kept getting kisses from the little white one.
 We had a little rain, and it was a bit chilly, but that meant less crowds, so we could have the animals all to ourselves.
 It was really great to have Justin join us this time around...the break from work was good for him,  and he seems to have enjoyed himself too!
 I hope you enjoyed a trip thru the pumpkin patch with us...you can never have too many pumpkins!
 Have a fabulous weekend!  Hugs from the Black Bear Cabin ~

Good for Great Grandma. It's never too late to learn a new skill.
Very cheerful pictures of your lovely family.

That looks like so much fun! I hope that when we are all 88 years old, we still have new adventures to enjoy.

HI lisa jo, I'm here getting caught up on your life. Jordyn is getting so big!!! And she's having a magical Fall..with ponies, and loggers and corn mazes and costumes! I love the pics from the corn maze and the animal kisses. You're working some magic with that camera of yours! Good job mama.
