Let's Play Animals

So we went to the pumpkin patch by Nana's a few weeks ago with our cousins. It was a week too early for pumpkins but the animals were out in full effect so we saddled up next to chicks, horses, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep, basically a little farm in and of itself, and we had ourselves a go of it.

And then we took a hay ride and this happened. Man, do these two love each other.

Pumpkin Tackling

Okay, went to this pumpkin patch-slash-farm joint by Nana's. It started out with a walk through this petting farm where they had all these animals that you could hang out with.
I think this goat is, like, 164 years old.
I asked the farm attendant if he had any lettuce and tomato... he didn't think that was very funny.
After a little bit of hee-haw in the farm we headed out on the tractor to the pumpkin patch at which time I suddenly became a fish.
Most of the pumpkins weighed more than me so I had a...
... really...
... rough...
... time...
... picking...
... them up...
I needed a solution. You've seen my incredible football skills in the past when I flashed the Heisman. This time I figured I'd bust out my 3-point stance. This is my cousin (well, second cousin) Ray-Ray who taught me the move...
And this, my friends, is technique. Some people were just born with God-given football talent, no explanation for it.
As you can see by what Dad has in his hand, cousin Ray-Ray can just flat out teach execution.

Instead of taking the tractor back we decided to walk it and on our way back we ran into Wilbur. I hadn't seen him since that get-together back in '02; I was so happy I could have just kissed him...

so I did.And that was that - a heckuva day at the pumpkin patch.
