TGR EXOTICS PUMPKIN PATCH

Every year in October there are many Halloween festivals/pumpkin patches in our area. I love taking the kids. It seems like we go every weekend. My favorite is the TGR Exotics pumpkin patch. I like it because it's very laid back, not over crowded, family operated and the best part is there are animals. They rescue and raise exotic animals. Now you don't get to see the real exotic animals, but what you get to see is perfect for kids. They always have a kangaroo running around. In the field there are ponies and pigs you get to pet. You can walk over to the camels, which are super interesting. Unfortunately not this year, but the past 2 years we timed it just right and the kids were able to bottle feed a baby camel.

                           Having fun painting their pumpkins. They got carried away with the glitter.

       Aardvark. We were told that there are only 26 in the USA because they are extremely hard to keep in captivity due to their digging. This one was about to be transported to CA.
                                             They are nocturnal animals. He couldn't stay awake!
                                                         What a great looking zebra!


                                  Ricky really got attached to this pony. She also followed him.
                                                          Petting the camels. Super friendly.
