We went to Carmichael’s Pumpkin Patch with some friends last weekend. It was the first time that our kids had gone to the “real” pumpkin patch and they had a blast! There was a nice petting zoo area. Ben and Elizabeth both fed the animals with help from Mom and Dad. Most of the animals were in pens, but the birds were all out and about which encouraged Ellie to climb up Dad and Ben to chase them down to give them food. Apparently Elizabeth was the only one that got the memo that beaks are sharp. :)
After feeding the animals, Ben was very eager to do the corn maze. The dads took all of the kids in the maze and they had a great time. When chickens and turkeys started running out of the maze, the moms knew that the kids must not be too far behind!
Our friend was a “veteran” pony rider so she was eager to do that again. Ben had never been on an animal before, but eagerly agreed to go for a ride as well. Ben rode Blaze and his friend rode Cookie. They both enjoyed the time and Ben sported a funny grin as he tried to figure out the best way to hold on.
We finished up our time at Carmichael’s by climbing on and selecting our pumpkins. The little kids even enjoyed that part and took turns on top of and in the piles. We had a wonderful time!! We can’t wait to go again next year!
How fun for the whole family! Blaze looks like an excellent first mount for our Ben.
