This year, we actually have FOUR trips planned to various pumpkin farms throughout the city with different groups of friends. I am super-excited because I love the fall, pumpkins, hayrides, etc... To kick off the pumpkin farm tour, we started tonight at Sunrock Farm. Our neighbor, Christa organized this visit to the farm, which was located in Northern Kentucky. We were joined by the Pusateri's and Bigelow's (Christa's sister and her family) - all together, we had 18 adults and children. We started the visit by learning how to milk a goat! Miss Ruby didn't seem to mind multiple children tugging at her udders. As the farm lady said, "she is used to little baby goat teeth" so our crew was nothing compared to that. We then got to meet one of their sheep and learn about her wool or lack there of, since she had just been shaved and how sheep produce lanonlin. I didn't know that lanonlin came from sheep, but I personally thanked her for the lanonlin that she produced since that is what saved me those first few days of breastfeeding :) Next, we moved on to the baby chickens - the boys were too scared to hold them, but Tim was the brave one in the bunch. Last but not least, they visited a group of ducks before we hopped on the wagon for the hayride. The hayride took us to a pumpkin patch where the kids got to pick a little pumpkin to take home. At the end of the trip, the kids got some Apple Cider and a cookie. Of course Alex complained that he didn't want the cider - he just wanted water - what? We had a great time!
Family picture - Drew slept the ENTIRE time - so no pictures of him :( Sorry...
Mom, no more pictures - OK?
Alex and his pumpkin...

My attempt at a cute picture, hoping they would both look at the camera, ummm no - never.
Most of our crew - we took up one whole wagon!

Evan milking the goat - yes, they both did it - it was hilarious!
