Pumpkin patch

Sister called today to announce they are going to a pumpking patch and I am welcome to come along. I have never seen children so terrified of hay bales, vines on the ground, or getting dirty.I told my niece, next time wear pants when walking through a prickly pumpking patch. We got a large pumpkin and some squash. After sitting on a hay bale dressed up to resemble a horse, niece got on to pose for a picture. They had another hay bale dressed as a catepillar. The barn had a big hay pile and a loft the kids could jump off into the hay. Niece refused to jump down with the rest of the kids. She just stood there in terror watching the other kids having fun. We saw goats with a mini horse. The baby goat was held back from approaching us by the mother goat. They had toddler yard toys niece and nephew enjoyed though they were too big for them. They had battery cars w/out the batteries so brother-in-law and I pushed them until we became tired. Then it was time to go home.
