Mitchell Farms

Last weekend we headed to Soso for one night so I could get a few things together for some art projects and of course to see the cows...oh and Doc and Cheri too! HA! On Saturday we decided to head to the pumpkin patch at Mitchell Farms in Collins...we weren't sure what to expect, but we had a blast! Unfortunately the cool fall weather didn't get here until Sunday, so we were soooo hot! I took so many pictures I couldn't narrow it down to just a few, here we go....
Cute little tractor...we LOVE tractors!


Sara Beth was talking to the goats in the "goat palace"

Happy Happy Turkey!

They couldn't quite figure out why they couldn't pet these animals...it is so easy to get to the cows at Doc's...these animals were all locked up!

They both had a big time sliding down the pipe slide!
Sara Beth of course had to spend a little time talking to this "a-mama cow"

We took a covered wagon/trailer ride around the property to see the fields of corn, sunflowers, squash, blueberries, peanuts...all kinds of yummy food! And we saw all sorts of "big trucks and tractors"(Mahlon's favorite) and ducks and geese(Sara Beth's favorite)

We skipped the corn maze because of the heat and the fear of losing Mahlon and Sara Beth...they are such fast runners! But we did pretend to be scarecrows!

There were all kinds of things to pick...we picked enough cotton to stuff a pillow!!
And of course they had to pick up almost every pumpkin there to find just the right one!


All of that picking makes you a little hungry! So we got a quick pick-me-up iced pumpkin cookie! Yummy!

Playing in the "pool of corn!" I have never seen anything like this...at first they were a little scared, but after a few minutes they were throwing corn everywhere and trying to walk in it...too cute!


Driving the John Deere just like Doc!

Who needs to pay for a petting zoo when you can just walk out of the back door at Doc and Cheri's and feed/pet your own cow! Sara Beth has named them, "a-mama" "a-dada" "a-baby" and she talks to them and tells them to eat corn and drink wah-wah(water) This was after nap time so they were energized and ready for more! Again Mahlon stood back and let her do all of the work!
