Johnson Farms Pumpkin Patch

 We took the boys today to the Johnson Farms Pumpkin Patch in Belton, Missouri. It was Jonathan's first trip to get a pumpkin and Christopher tutored him in pumpkin patch etiquette. Well, kind of! Anyway, it was an absolutely gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun. After taking a hayride out to pick pumpkins, Chris helped Jonathan make his selection. Here he is examining his choice...

 There were tons of fun things for big kids to do too! Here is Chris jumping on the big inflatable pillow and also being king of the mountain...

 The farm had a number of animals, including lots of pigs. Jonathan loved the pigs so much! He just looked at them and kept laughing. There was also a litter of piglets that had been born the day before and we got to see them up close. They were so cute! And there was also a litter that was several weeks old and they were running around like puppies do. Both of our boys really enjoyed seeing all of them.

 After all the activities, we got apple cider slushies (Chris), hot apple cider (Mommy) and homemade pumpkin spice donuts, which Jonathan really enjoyed too. It was a great afternoon!
