An Afternoon at the Pumpkin Patch & Orchard

On Friday, Olivia and I had an outing with our friends Andrea and Rachel. (Andrea is the mom and Rachel is her daughter.) We headed north of Grand Rapids to Sparta where we spent a few hours at a local farm/orchard. They had wagons for people to borrow, so we found one to put the girls in as we explored the sights.

Rachel and Olivia are ready to get rolling!

There were a lot of animals for the girls to see. Andrea took out a rabbit for the girls to pet. Olivia was SO excited! I had to remind her to be gentle with the rabbit because she wanted to pet it the way she does our dogs! :) The girls also saw baby ducks, baby goats, adult goats, and kittens. They really liked all of the animals.

We then made our way to the pumpkin patch. I couldn't resist the temptation of putting Olivia in the pumpkin patch for various pictures.

This is my favorite!

Rachel and Olivia stand by one of the big pumpkins. Okay, Olivia is really leaning, but she is there all by herself.



Andrea finally caught one of the kittens that was running around so the girls could pet it. Rachel wasn't as excited about the kitten as Olivia was.

By the barn (which is actually a store) there was a "horse" kids could sit on. Olivia thought it was great sitting there all by herself.
