Batesy Natesy

On Saturday, we took our annual trip to Bates Nut Farm
affectionately renamed Nate's Butt Farm by the locals. :)


We normally go with my sister each year,
but this year we also brought the Schan clan along for the ride.

We smelled (I mean saw..?) the animalsPlayed in the corn fieldsPicked out Pumpkins(and gourds!)Stuffed our faces with yummy food
(which I respectfully took zero pictures of - not very attractive)

... and of course took a bunch of picturesAs always, it was so much.
BNF hold so many memories
and it's the perfect way to usher in the Fall!

Where do you go pumpkin patching?

Every Fall,

Jeremiah, my sister and I

take a trip up to Bates Nut Farm.

This year she brought the boy along
to enjoy the yummy food, the pretty pumpkins
and all the silly pictures we take.

The Scarecrow Concert is always
the source of some good laughs

We McLeods love us some pumpkins.
So to get in the spirit for our annual trip to Bates Nut Farm next month,

from the last couple of years...

Nate's Butt Farm

Yup, 90 degrees at the farm today, but we had plenty of fun playing with the pumpkins, eating snow cones, perusing the local store and feeding the goats. Jeremiah and I have been going to Bates Nut Farm every Fall since we started dating. We've been bringing Lys, and sometimes, Daniel along for the past few years. And it's become quite the little tradition that we're always looking forward to. It will be so fun to bring our little tykes there some day and watch our little gang grow bigger and bigger. Here are some pictures from today's trip:
