PUMPKIN PATCH 2007

Today we went to the local pumpkin patch. Mackenzie is 10 months old today. She seemed to enjoy everything that the patch had to offer, as well as a 10 month old could. She rode on the train, rode on a pony and even rode on a paddle boat. Checked out some pigs, rabbits, a chicken and a couple goats. The sun was shining and it was a good day.
