Bates Nut Farm

Today we went to Bates Nut Farm. Jorie and I have been going here for our pumpkins for years. Last year Izzy was only 4 months and she just stayed where we put her for pictures. This year it was much more fun with her. She was excited to see the "pum" (her version of pumpkin). She attempted to kiss every pumpkin around her, so we were there for a little while. There were even some bigger then her! She also played in the petting zoo and chased the sheep yelling "baa, baa". There were some chairs in the petting zoo and Izzy decided to arrange and organize them. She completely forgot about all the animals around her! So we moved onto the pony ride. At first she cried when they put the seat belt on her. But as soon as the pony started moving, she was cracking up! I think this was her favorite part. When it was over, she kept telling the guy "again, again"! We then moved over to the tractor ride that takes you around the pumpkin patch. Izzy thought it was a trash truck, so we of course let her think she was riding a trash truck. We ended the day by walking through the country store and looking at all the homemade goodies and holiday decorations. Jorie picked out a hot sauce called ass kicker and I picked out an apple butter. When Izzy started telling the employees "night, night" we knew it was time to go home. It was a good fun day.
