Fall Festival

Ok, it's not exactly called a fall festival or a pumpkin patch, but every year in the fall, Owen's Farm opens up for Big Orange Pumpkin Farm. I just call it the Pumpkin Patch. We went last year, and Jaden loved it. This year we went during the work week. Since Uncle Scott was in town for the week, we were able to all go together (Uncle Scott, Grandma Leslie, Grandpa Lyale, and our little McLaughlin Family). It was scorching hot outside. In fact as I type this I feel the remnants of yesterday on my skin (a nice sun burn).
So, Jaden fed the animals. They come right up to people (ducks, too), so Jaden put the food in her hand and let the animals eat it that way... And sometimes, she would just throw it on the ground. Morgan just sat back and watched, and said "duh, duh" (while I was telling her they were ducks).
Then, we went on a hay ride, and ran around looking at the pumpkins. We got to each pick out one. So, now we have 3 pumpkins in the house. I guess I need to find some pumpkin receipes so that I can put them to good use- to feed us :0)
After the Pumpkin Patch we went to lunch at a Tex-Mex restaurant called El Paso. Then, We went to the Marr's house for some visiting. By the time we headed back home at 3:30 PM, both of the girls were exhausted & fell asleep on the way back to Anna.
As you can see, we had a good time. Today is chore day, so there won't be anything exciting to write about that. Ha, ha, ha, ha! I'll write more soon! Take care everyone!">
