Reaction from Pumpkin Patch

Having a two week off from school was a perfect excuse to go to Pumpkin Patch. When we got there, there were FEW people at Pumpkin Patch. One was that the schools were still open in our home area. It was nice not to have to wait in a long line during the torrid sun (two days ago.) The boys were able to go on few rides even feeding the animals.

Thus, I bought 28 tickets so each boys was able to go on 14 rides. Wasn't that grand for going on rides repeatedly without waiting in a long line ? The first thing they started off wanting to go on a Pumpkin Jumper. This did not last long. They hopped for another ride: Sliding down at 50 feet high. They loved it. My best guess was that they enjoyed more of this rides than the other kind of rides.

Ryan wanted to give himself a try to go on a mini train. Believe it or not, he was getting tired of riding on this train even after he only went on once. That was nice because it completely changed his point of view. He used to obsessed to go trains repeatedly. Now, he would rather to go onto different rides.

Dylan and Ryan chose to go on a Vehicle Merry-Go-Around. Dylan wanted to go on Harley Davidson. Good thing it was not a real Harley Davidson It reminds of my father in law who loves to go on a real Harley Davidson. Ryan chose to "drive" on a Jeep just like his dad's car.

The next thing was feeding the animals: goat and kids. There was one goat liked to shove out the innocent kids. (A young goat is called a kid.) Good grief, he was born with small ears but had to remove his horns otherwise, he would have hurt or even kill kid. I can't even think about this. While we were there, Dylan pleaded me to get the goat and kids some hay. It had scared Dylan a little bit because the way the bully goatee cried out for the hay, so he dropped the hay. I had to pick the hay up for the kids to eat. This mean goat tended to knock over the kids, except I had to shoo him out of the way. Ryan had a real soft heart for the younger ones: kids.

As soon as we finished feeding the goat and kids, the boys were pleading to have a lunch. I couldn't argue with them because it was lunch time. I did make an attempt to take them back after they had a lunch. But they didn't want to especially at this heat.

So, I thought we would be going back because I still have fourteen tickets left to use it up before October 31st. This will NOT happen again for two reasons. One was that I could see that the boys are getting too big to go the Pumpkin Patch. Second, two days after visiting the Pumpkin Patch, it clears to me that Dylan has an allergic reaction to the Hay and Pumpkin. He did get bad rash all over his chest and back . I felt bad for Dylan because he is not able to touch the real Pumpkin; only a fake one. With the left over tickets, I am planning giving the tickets to one of my co w0rkers with children to use it up for us.

Oh, they are getting so big so quickly. It sounds like you guys had a good time though. Too bad about Dylan and the allergy to hay. So, he can't be a farmer when he grow up. Strike that off as a career option.

I hope you guys still carve your pumpkins or at least paint them and post some pics!

Laura, how do you know its the pumpkin or hay? What if it was the goats? Poor, poor kid! Is he feeling better now?

How do you know it was the pumpkin that Dylan was allergic to? Maybe it was the hay or the goat hair. Mom/CC

Nikki and Mom, there is no way of knowing until we separate one of them: pumpkin, hay or goat.

In meantime, he is taking medications to heal the rash he has on his chest. It's healing slowly. So far, he has not scratch it at all.
