"Punkin" Patch

Malachi lived up to the bargain that we had made on Sunday. Therefore...today we made it to a local "punkin" (Malachi-ism) patch in Iredell County. Carrigan Farms has apparently been doing this pumpkin patch thing for about 30 years. One of Daniel's grandmothers went with us to have fun with the boys. We went in the morning before the major rush. They took us on a hay ride to see a small corral of animals. Then the tractor pulled us to the pumpkin patch. We were able to enjoy some fresh apple cider. There were cut-outs for the kids to take their picture in. Malachi had a great time, but Ezekiel was a little on the moody side. Then, we went to lunch at one of our favorite BBQ restaurants, since we were sooo close. It was nice to get away from the house and area just for a little bit and enjoy the nice, cool weather.
