Pumpkin farm

Yesterday, we went to an Alabama pumpkin farm for a picnic lunch, playtime, and, of course, pumpkin picking! We went with Maggie's friend Rebekah (and her mom and little bro) and had a great time! One of Maggie's favorite things was playing in this huge vat of dried corn.



Both girls liked climbing this huge haystack. This picture cracks me up ... it's like they're copying each other. (Maybe they were ...)

The kids got to paint their pumpkins when we got back from the hayride.


What in the world is Maggie doing here??



This is the infamous cow train.



We visited this same farm last year, and Maggie wanted to ride the train. Even though she rode with two other friends, when the "train" came back into the "station," she was crying and screaming hysterically. She later said it scared her because it took her where she couldn't see Mommy and Daddy. So yesterday, she immediately declared that she did not want to ride the cow train. Fair enough ... but as you can see, she eventually changed her tune and loved it! I'm not sure what she loved more -- the actual ride on the cow train or the fact that she was "braver" this year and made it through without crying!!
