The Hixon House: Pumpkin Patch Fun!

This past Saturday was another first for our sweet Caden, his first trip to a pumpkin patch! With a mid November birthday, this little guy just barely missed Halloween and visiting pumpkin patches. What a difference a year makes! From inside my tummy to walking all over everywhere, this kid is growing up fast!
Caden loved the pumpkin patch! We went with my cousin who has a son about 5 months older than Caden and her family, so it was a blast! We visited a place not too far from our house called Halter Inc. The rest of the year this place operates as somewhere children can come enjoy the benefits of therapeutic horses and other farm animals, but this time of year they also have a pumpkin patch with tons of fun activities for kiddos! There's a petting zoo, pony rides, etc. for super cheap! Kids under 2 are free (Sweet!) as well as adults (Sweetness again!) and the kids over 2 are $5 each.
Caden liked getting to explore and touch all the pumpkins, and one of his favorite things was sitting on a tractor (future farmer?, Perhaps, I mean this child looks absolutely adorable in his overalls!) He fed some goats, pigs, and a llama. He even stole some of their food for himself (sad to admit he actually did this twice!). At our neighborhood's National Night Out they had a couple of police officers with horses there, and Caden was a little scared of these large animals (in his defense there is a substantial size difference), so I wasn't sure how the pony ride would go, but he did GREAT! He loved sitting in the saddle and didn't cry once.
Such a neat place to visit! A few little showers didn't stop us from having a wonderful time!!
