Bishops Pumpkin Farm

We woke up bright and early and headed to Wheatland for the morning. This is by far our favorite pumpkin patch and farm in the area, totally worth the drive. It's been a couple of seasons since we've been and they have improved the ground tremendously. Here's our day in pictures....
Ty was ready to go, smiley and laughing, Cody was not smiling for the camera. Don't know why, must be a 4 yo thing!
There's a smile!
Ty thought these were really funny!
Yes, black eye. Some show of brotherly love!
After arriving, we bought our tickets for the train and headed over to the animal area. Ty was really timid about the animals, most of them are 4+ times his size, so I get it. A big improvement from last year was Cody wanting to pet and be around the animals.
Ty was not so sure, hated the big goats and would run the other direction.
Feeding the goats, 1 piece between his fingers. Then he would turn his head and run!
After the animals we headed over to the wooden play structure to climb around a bit.


Then it was time to ride the train, one of our favorites about this place. It went around the monster pumpkins, saw more livestock and a bunch of old farm tools.

Classic pumpkin pictures....
So serious...

To make him smile we asked, "Do you have a girlfriend? Is it Jenna?" This is the look he gave me!
There's lots to do, so we headed over to the barn slide and the tower slides. They had a good time, getting rid of some energy!


From there it was time to watch the pig races. They put on a cute show and the boys thought it was funny.
After a quick trip back to the van for some snacks, it was time for the hay ride to the pumpkin patch. We were getting pretty tired at this point, so we had our serious faces on again.

Searching out the perfect pumpkin...
Oh, the faces of Cody...
Asked him to smile at me with his pumpkins....
So we headed for home after this, right as it was really starting to get busy! G-ma S. came along for the trip and treated us to lunch on the way home. We had a lovely napping afternoon, almost 3 hours of sleeping!
After dinner we put our faces on our pumpkins.
Puppy for Tyler...
The pig and kitty for Cody....
Complete with Mama Bear. Keith is thinking he's going to carve his, so we'll have to wait and see what becomes of the big one in the back.
Great day, can't wait to go again!

What a great day in pictures for G-ma and G-pa to be able to follow along. Not as good as being there!
Miss you.
