October has been a busy month. Early on we decided that we would venture out to the Medina Love Creak Orchard and Pumpkin Patch sometime this month and let Jelly live out her dream of being a "cowgirl" for a day. However, we got back from a 7 day trip out west last week and we leave for New Orleans in the morning, so our opportunities to play with the pumpkins were pretty slim. With a little effort, we managed to squeeze in a few hours as a family so that Belle could enjoy a hayride, pet farm animals and paint a pumpkin!
Medina was much farther than we anticipated and we arrived at Love Creak only 60 minutes before closing time. Yet, we were able to rush from one event to another and managed to see most of the farm. Belle is so fascinated with animals and farm animals seem to be her favorite. She was thrilled to ride a pony, pet a goat and hold a baby chick all by herself. She begged us to bring at least one animal home and was smart enough to say "I have a good idea! We could bring home just one tiny baby chicken, they are small enough!" after Ben told her a horse was too big even for our "garden."
We were hot and sticky after our short trip to the country which didn't quite seem like Fall, but all the effort was worth it to catch these great looks on Jelly's face! Besides, she is being what else but a cowgirl for Halloween this year!

How fun. Happy Halloween Belle!!!
I'm so jealous! Now your family is the one doing the fun things. We want in!!! I have always wanted to take my kids to that pumpkin patch. I've heard it's one of the best around here. Looks like fun.
She is just such a cute kid!! I loved her cowgirl pose, when she tried on her new hat! I love that kid!
She looks like she is having the best time. What a cute cowgirl!
Sounds even better than last year. I wish we could go this year but you're right,it's far! Very cute pictures.
She is always so cute! I am glad you guys found time to make it out there. We love it.
She is going to make a great cowgirl for Halloween! That looks like so much fun!
very cool. I love the picture of her with the baby chick, except it reminds of one time when my little brother shut a baby chick in a book and sat on it. Not good times.
I loved your post about your visit to Utah. Your sister is beautiful, congrats to her! We are headed there in December for the sealing of Ashton. We are excited. How fun to stay in a nice cabin in Sundance.
Belle, you are my favorite cowgirl! Will you go to the zoo with me? GrannieAnnie
How Fun! I love LOVE ORCHARD! But-have a hard time going back! It is a drive!
Hey Amy, i started a blog. I took my kids here as well...man oh man it was a drive. I got so car sick and Caden cried the WHOLE way home. Yeah....it was sort of worth it for us. Hope all is well!
It is so worth the drive. I am going to make sure I take the boys there next year! We need to see the cowgirl costume too:)
