Patterson Place

On the only Saturday that we didn't have soccer games in October, the girls, Jarem, and I went with my friend, Priya, and her girls (Divya & Pramika) to the Patterson Place Pumpkin Patch and zoo.  Eric and Alex were at the temple in Nashville with the youth so they weren't with us.  It was a beautiful day and we had a great time petting the animals and looking around.  We also went through the corn maze.

They had some unique animals there like alpacas, emus, elk (including a baby elk only a few days old), fallow deer, different variety of cattle, a big camel, donkeys, a zedonk(zebra/donkey mix) and a 800 lb pig (which we didn't get to see).  In the water, we saw ducks, geese, and swans.  Divya and Tessa especially loved the animals and had to pet anything that would come close enough. 

After we finished looking at the animals, the kids found a little playground area to play on.  We didn't end up buying a pumpkin because they were too expensive and I didn't have any cash (which was all they accepted).  Instead, we went and bought some at Kroger for Famiy Home Evening on the following Monday.

It was such a beautiful fall day.  I thoroughly enjoyed it!












This donkey kept rolling in the dirt violently.  It must have been trying to get the bugs off or something.

That looks like a lot of fun! I liked all the different animals. It's a nice change from the regular goats, chickens & bunnies we get here in Washington. Gabby would have been so excited to pet the camel. I really like that last picture of the pretty trees.
