Freddy Hills Farm

We went to a pumpkin patch/farm called Freddy Hills Farm with Mason's preschool last week. They had some animals in pens for the kids to look at and in one of the pens was an elk. The boys were so excited to see a real live elk since they have been learning about elk from the time they understood English.
Next we took a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins.
Here are the boys with their pumpkins. The farm removes all the big ones and sells them for .44 a pound and lets the kids pick the tiny ones. Mason was disappointed there weren't any big ones, but since we have to carry the pumpkins around the rest of the time, it's probably best they get the little ones.

Did you check out Mason's shirt? He made it at preschool and all the kids wore them to the farm. Mason was so proud of it, and Logan was in tears because he didn't have one to wear too. After the pumpkins, we went through a corn maze and down a "giant" slide.

The best part, in my opinion, was the ice cream at the end. So good!

Looks like fun. I'm glad Mason's preschool had better weather than Jacobs. It poured! Still fun, but sunshine definitely makes for a better time! Mason & Logan look so cute together!

hey, that Halloween shirt looks oh so familiar. Maggie has one very similar. Looks like you had a nice day for pumpkin picking--better than the FREEZING cold last year. haha
