Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch

Saturday Tyler and I decided to brave the windy, rainy weather and get one last day of autumn in before the cold winter really sets in. We spent the afternoon wandering around Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch looking at a variety of animals; they had everything from chickens and ponies to ligers, kangaroo and giraffe. The farm also had a corn maze, a small haunted house, camel and hay rides, a huge farmer's market, some tasty treats, and much, much more!

One of our favorite activities was the Swine Sweepstakes. As you can see from the photo below those little piggies were flying around the track- the winner got a double-stuffed Oreo, so you can understand why. I wanted Arnold Schwatzen-hogger to win, but he had a sore hammy.... hehe!

I had to stop and take a picture with Buzz cause he's my favorite and lately I keep telling Tyler how much I want the real (from the movie) Buzz Lightyear action figure. He's just soooo cool!!

The farmer's market had a bunch of fun autumn/Halloween decorations as well as lots of yummy food like apple cider donuts, homemade fudge and roasted corn on the cob. They also had every single type of pumpkin/squash/gourd for sale. I wish I had a place I could bring some pretty pumpkins home to, but I don't so photos will have to do this year. Enjoy!
