There sure were a lot of little pumpkins to choose from out there!

I don't think this cute, little scarecrow is going to scare many crows!

So many animals to look at!

Next, it was off to see the little, pot-bellied pig & Polish chicken.

Not sure whether or not to pet the pig.

Here come the ducks!

Katie would have stayed all day in the pen with the animals if we had let her!
