We headed to Carmichael’s in Bixby for our annual pumpkin patch trip. There are lots of animals to feed and pet, ponies to ride and even camels to ride this year. We started with feeding some animals and both kids enjoyed helping. Elizabeth was determined to pet some chickens, but we steered her to the soft lambs that didn’t have such pointy beaks.
Ben decided he wanted to ride a pony like last year so he got in line for that. Elizabeth just wanted to watch Brother and Mom didn’t blame her one bit. J Ben climbed right up on that pony and was so excited to be riding. One of the workers saw his giant grin and said, “I think he likes horses, don’t you?”
After the pony ride we went to pick out our pumpkins for the year. Everyone had a different idea about what looked the best so we ended up each getting our own and a few more small ones.
Ben was determined to go through this hay maze that is completely enclosed and pitch black. We agreed that he could go if he would go by himself as the rest of us weren’t interested. He was feeling brave and excited so he raced in and then never came out. . . Mom started yelling into the exit side for him, but he must have still been near the entrance. An older boy found him upset and helped lead him to the end to Mom. Both Mom and Ben were relieved. Mom’s theory is that maybe we shouldn’t do that anymore. Ben’s theory is that we should just bring a flashlight next year.
