On Saturday, the Riopel family took a trip to Hickory Creek Farms, a pumpkin patch.
I made a great scarecrow and Jude was a cute little pumpkin picker.

I found some tiny little pumpkins, just my size.

It was a beautiful 90 degree FALL day! (Global warming?)

Why wait for pumpkin pie? Yum!

Then we headed out to the patch to find our pumpkins.

Weeee!

I told Dad that this one looked good.

He taught me how to thump it to see if it's a good one.

It was!

So we picked it!
Mom found herself the perfect pumpkin(s).

Then we hauled our finds back to the barn.

At the Critter Corral we fed the chickens...

and quacked at the ducks...

and petted Dominic the Donkey!

And don't forget the goats.

"So, when can we come back?" (I hear they have strawberry pickin' in the spring!)
