Pumpkin Patch kind of day

Today was wonderful! We (all three! of us) got to spend the day at Patterson Farms pumpkin patch. If you haven't been (and live near Charlotte), go! You'll love it. We went for 'Porter', but I won't lie, I think I had more fun than he did. We got there a little late (which has become our new 'on time') and I was worried we would have missed all of the events. But, the staff was so nice to give us our very own puppet show and tractor ride...

Patterson Farm

Puppet show (Porter LOVED it!)

Tractor ride (Porter was not the biggest fan of the tractor ride, maybe in a few years)

We also got to see the farm animals and even pet some of them. I have always loved goats, and apparently so does Porter! The goat jumped on the fence and he stuck his hand out right away. My boy might be a little too brave. He saw goats, sheep, horses, peacocks, chickens, ducks, emus, turkeys, pigs, donkeys, and a rabbit...

He even sat still long enough to get his face painted! Yes, his shirt turned quite orange. Little boys are supposed to get dirty, right?!

At the end, we put him in the field with the pumpkins (adorable!). He picked a favorite and kept it the whole time. Yes it is on our front porch now. Could you say no to that face?? We had a great time, and I'm already looking forward to bringing him back next year when he can run and play with all of the animals!
