In previous years Kaylie has feed the animals but not gotten too close. This time around she could have spent the entire time with just them. After they took her food she would get so excited she would start jumping up and down while yelling she did it. What she didn't realize is that the animal feed goes every where when you are jumping. Hard lesson to learn but pretty cute to watch.
I have many of these "mid-air" pictures. If you look at the top of her cup a piece is flying out. It was so much fun seeing her get so excited and not be freaked out by the animals taking stuff from her hands. She would even put her palm out flat for them to eat off of it. I know I have said this a lot but we have come a long way!!!
Her feet are actually off the ground. They were her favorite friends to feed. She asked many times to come back to them.
You could tell it was first thing in the morning and the animals were waiting to be feed. All of them would run to the gate and stick their heads out to beg. Much different than previous visits. Even the longhorn wanted to eat. Usually he just stands there ignoring everyone. 
This happened as one of our friends was in mid sentence explaining that if you put your cup too close they would take it. She wasn't kidding. Thankfully, our friend's son laughed when he took the cup instead of cried. 
After trying to feed one of the goats we quickly realized this goat was the "alpha" goat of the group. We called him the mean goat because every time we would try to feed one he would run over and that goat would run away before they could get a piece. He would run from one person to another causing all the goats to scatter. After a few minutes I held a piece of food in front of him to allow the kids to feed the others and not be scared. Poor goats.
Kaylie was really scared of him. I can't blame her. His horns are a little intimidating. He was actually very sweet and gentle. Slobbered a little more than I would have liked but his sweetness made it ok.
Back again and still hungry. Her face says so much!
I love how all of the kids are in a line feeding all of the goats in a line. 
Kaylie was holding food in her hand when she got a little distracted. This sheep freaked her out when he took the food with out her actually giving it to him. Her reaction was priceless.
The rule for picking a pumpkin...If you can carry it you can have it. She didn't end up with this one.
My favorite picture of the day.
This was the pumpkin of choice. It was "Kaylie-sized." She liked it so much she wouldn't let it go.
Our pumpkins with my little pumpkin. 
The four were hypnotized by the tractor. They watched it the entire way around the pumpkin patch.
Do you know how hard it is to get a picture of four three year olds looking at the camera and smiling all at the same time?!? As we came to see it was pretty much impossible so instead I put the one that made me smile the most. This picture was pretty much a bloopers pic. Kaylie was infatuated with her chap stick and wouldn't stop trying to put it on. The boys...well...they are boys and really did not want to be sitting. Can't blame them I guess. Their was way too much to do and sitting was not part of it.
For our first time on a hay ride I have to say it was a huge success. You never know how she is going to react and considering once off she wanted to go again I think we had fun. 
Once off it was time for us to go so we could get to school on time. I think this was the first time I felt like we had to leave too soon. With amazing weather I wouldn't have traded that time with her for anything.
