PUMPKIN PATCH 2009

I love October. It is the start of fall and all of the festivities coming in the next few months!I love pumpkin patches! I love the hay rides, hot apple cider, corn maze, hay pyramid, bale maze, pumpkin launch, and of course, searching a huge field of pumpkins to find our perfect pumpkins! This year we had a great time and I do believe we found our perfect pumpkins! My 4 beautiful girls with their pumpkins
Abby, Kamryn, Sophia and Macey at the top of the hay pyramid, boy was that fun for them! They probably could have done this all day.

This is the best picture I got of Abby with her pumpkin. She did such a great job picking out her pumpkin. Because we have 4 kids, and no chance of getting a wheelbarrow(there were so many people waiting in line for one. We probably would have waited at least 30 minutes) , we told our girls that they had to pick pumpkins they could carry out. They all did really good and carried them pretty much all the way out! Way to go Ladies!





Here they are carrying their pumpkins out




Here's Molly. Apparently, she did not want to be held while leaving the pumpkin field. But if she walked, well, we still might be there! Bless her heart!







They had little stations where you can wash your pumpkin and make it clean, so you don't have to get all the dirt from the field in your car! Such a great idea!








This was the last picture I took that day, my camera battery died. Who goes to the pumpkin patch with your whole family and doesn't make sure your battery is charged? Um, well, I do. After we let the girls play in the corn pit(kinda like a sand box but with corn), we still did the pumpkin launch, bale maze, corn maze and the animal petting area. Yep, missed it all! Oh well, the pictures I have, I LOVE! So, a little word of advice - ALWAYS make sure your camera battery is charged when you are going on a fun outing with your family! And if you accidentally forgot to charge your battery and it dies, try to go on smiling while you are crying on the inside!

Those are great pictures! I have been there before with the dead battery...haven't done it since! Live and learn I guess! I love the picture of Molly screaming over Rodgers shoulder...so funny!
