Here is a picture of Ali riding on the little tractors. Her legs weren't quite long enough to pedal so Mom and Dad did a lot of pushing. She insisted on trying out every tractor.
We arrived a little before all the big attractions started up so we had some time to kill. Ali had a lot of fun playing peek-a-boo out of this mural which has eight or nine holes through which you can stick your face.
Here Ali and Daddy are admiring the goats.
Though you can't see them in this picture, we are watching the free roaming chickens and roosters. Incidentally, right after this picture was taken a rogue chicken came charging at me and I thought my shins were done for. Luckily I was able to keep my cool and I can happily report Ali's love of chickens remains in tact.
Ali and John went on the huge hay slide. You had to climb up hay bales and then landed in hay.
(Ali didn't like it very much)
By far, Ali's favorite things on the farm were the ponies. She got to go for a ride (with Daddy close by her side) on a pony named "Horse" (Ali named it.) She had been looking forward to it for several days. That morning when we were trying to get her to hurry through the dressing process so we could go, we reminded her that the ponies were waiting for her to come and ride them. "And Mommy can ride a cow." was her response.

"Look at me, Daddy"

I ask you, does life get any better?
We had a chance to take a tour of the farm in a pony drawn buggy. The horses' names were Junior and Red. Ali thought they were great and even got to pet one. After the tour, we knew where the pumpkin patch was so we headed off to find the Great Pumpkin.
It didn't take long before Ali found one she liked.
Ali was gracious enough to pose for a few scrapbook pictures
The Queen of funny faces
After loading our pumpkins into the car we ended our visit with some hot chocolate and homemade doughnuts. This day will definitely go down in the books as one of the funnest family days ever!
