Family outing

We all went to a pumpkin patch at a place called Peacock Road Tree Farm.  Here she is with the pumpkins she picked.  She was very specific that mommy and daddy got big ones; her and Sarah little ones (mommy also wants everyone to notice her adorable pumpkin hat that she made):

 And here she is hauling out her hand picked pumpkins to the car:


 But the pumpkin patch was only the beginning of the fun.  Emma got to ride a pony:



She got to pet the goats in the petting zoo (and the goats got out of their pen, so Emma had a great time chasing one down):

While we were there, a potbelly pig gave birth to 5 piglets.  Anyone who was nearby was recruited to help get the piglets and mom into a new pen.  Here is Emma with a 1 hour old piglet:

 And best of all were the pig and turkey races.  Emma got to help sweep the pigs along:


 And when the sweeping didn't work out well, she got to pull the rope to open the gates for the pigs:


 What a great day!
