Round one of pumpkin patches

On Saturday Grandma Melory met the three of us at Vineyard nursery to walk through their pumpkin patch.  When we got there a worker told Matt that it wasn't up yet but that we could go walk around out back, so we did!  It was so fun.  The new front runner train track runs right by the nursery and we got to see several trains go by.  There is also a corn maze with pumpkins growing up a fence along the side.  There was a tunnel to play in, and a house made of hay, and a pumpkin house, and lots of animals--a baby cow, billy goats, female goats that they milk, bunnies, and turkeys or chickens (we weren't sure which they were).  Madeleine was in heaven.

When we go to see the horses and donkeys right by our house I sometimes pick the grass and weeds and feed it to the animals.  That's what Madeleine did with these chickens, although their pecking is a little more frightening than nice soft donkey lips.

In this hay house there were lots of random hats hanging from the roof.
