Tate Farms--Take 2

Last Thursday JD took a half a day off of work and we took Becca back to Tate Farms. She had so much fun. JD didn't get to go with us last year or the week before when Mimi and Poppa were in town so he really enjoyed the afternoon with his girls. We had so much fun and even ended our day there with a funnel cake and fresh squeezed lemonade. All in all it was a wonderful family outing! I'll have to take some pictures of our front door so everyone can see the mums that Becca picked out and all of our pumpkins too!

She wanted to stand in front of the "how tall this fall" sign again.

Just some cute decorations. They have stuff like this all over the farm.

And up close picture of the scarecrow.

Too cute!

Our little pumpkin riding in the pumpkin waggon.

She loves to climb on pumpkins.

This one is bigger than she is.

Exploring.


Daddy got a call from work while sitting on the tractor.

Daddy and Becca "driving" the tractor.

Becca "driving" the tractor. She LOVES tractors.

Just walking through the pumpkin patch looking for the perfect pumpkin...but I think we already found Her!

This one will do!

Daddy and Becca on the hay ride.

She rode the corn train all by her self this time!!!! And she had a great time!!




She LOVED playing in the corn crib!!!

Silly Girl!


Looks like she just dove right in.


First time getting a close look at cotton. She sees it all the time when we are driving around town, but this is the first time she could really see it. It's funny, we have so many cotton, corn, and wheat fields around us that she know exactly what it is already.

Climbing into the "Big Green Tractor"

She loves to have her picture taken before she goes down the slide.

Tate Farms

Mimi and Papa came to spend a few days with us while Papa was on vacation. While they were here we decided to take Becca back to Tate Farms again. She had so much fun last year and we knew that she'd have even more this year. And we were right. She had so much fun climbing on all the tractors, playing in the corn cribs, petting the animals, picking pumpkins, riding the corn train, taking a hay ride, and going down every slid they had. We managed to get there early enough that there were very few people there, so we had a great time.

Mommy and Becca posing on a wagon full of pumpkins.

Becca picked out her very own pumpkin!!!

We just had to see how much our little pumpkin weighed. (31 lbs...that is when she didn't have her foot off and holding on to Mommy)

Mimi and Becca on the hay ride!!! (she made Becca's dress)

Here we are in the pumpkin patch and Becca picking out the "Big" pumpkin she wants to take home, and she thought that she could pick it up too.

She wanted to ride the Corn Train, but wouldn't sit in it by her self so she grabbed my hand and said "Mommy Ride Too." They let me ride the train with her. And as I said there were not very many people there when we got there and so we were the only 2 on the train so he gave us a LONG ride. Becca had a great time, and even wanted to ride again when we were finished.

She had to ride in the very last car.

See we are the only ones on the train.

So much fun!!!

After the train ride we let her play in the corn cribs...we didn't let her last year, there were too many other kids in them at that time and she would have tried to eat the corn. This time she had ALL of them to her self.


Saying "Cheese" for the camera!

Buried up to her knees in corn.


She wouldn't stay still long enough for Papa to get the entire sign. But at the top it says how tall this fall at Tate Farms. Last year she was just about 2 feet, and this year as you can see she is almost 3 feet. She has grown almost an entire foot in just one year.

Too cute not to share.

She LOVES to slide! In fact she wouldn't leave the farm until she went down most of the slides at least once more and Papa took her picture on every one of them. She would sit at the top of the slide and say "Cheese" until he took her picture before she would go down the slide.

Petting one of the goats.

Having a good time with all the goats...who kept trying to eat her dress.

This was one of the 6 week old puppies they had.

Petting one of the bunnies. After she got done petting this one she ask the lady if she could pet the black one too.

Showing how she can walk on the balance beam.

"Riding" in the Red Tractor...she loves tractors.

The Combine slide. This is just so cute!!!

So cute!!!

This is us at the entrance to the farm...but she just wouldn't look at the camera.

We had so much fun that afternoon, that we are going to get Daddy to take a half a day off soon so that we can go back again!!!!
