Bodhi was a little young last year to fully enjoy the fall activities at a pumpkin patch, so we were really excited to start a family tradition today. We chose Sonny Acres Farm, http://www.sonnyacres.com for several reasons: a family run farm without a huge admission fee just to enter, plenty of free activities for Bodhi's age, and for a few bucks, we were able to purchase tickets to pet the animals and ride a pony. Totally worth it! After a previous 24 hours of sporadic thunderstorms and downpours, we kept our fingers crossed for a nice, fall day; that was just what we got. Crisp and full of sunshine! Perfect! |

 |
| Bodhi was pretty entranced by the large tractors that pulled wagons filled with passengers around the farm. |
 |
| Fascinated by the goats and sheep... |
 |
| Little did he know, we'd soon go to another area where we could feed and pet them! |
 |
| Fall! |

 |
| First stop in the petting zoo...the SOFTEST bunny on the planet! So sweet and calm...I could have pet that rabbit all day. |
 |
| Those goats can get aggressive when they want food! Bodhi found it hilarious, as did I. |
 |
| Making friends with the sheep. |
 |
| And then there was this super affectionate llama with a crazy underbite. She had no problem with me hugging her around her long, llama neck. Sweet llama! |
 |
| A brief break from the animals meant flying around the track in snazzy convertible. |
 |
| Quite proud of himself! |
 |
| Back to the animals...Bodhi's first pony ride! Even though it looks like he's screaming from my death grip in the lower left photo, he was cracking up! (And I was just preventing him from sliding right off the saddle.) |
 |
| Oh, that's right, we came here to look for pumpkins too. |
 |
| He enjoyed the extra bumpy pumpkins as well as finding little pools of collected water in the tops of the pumpkins. |
 |
| Big fan of the white ones as well...it was kinda cool that he was drawn to the extra unique pumpkins. |

| All tuckered out...little sleepyhead. |
