Pumpkin Patch

Today we made a trip to Underwood Family Farms Fall Harvest Festival and had a great time.  We love this place ever since we first visited back in May to pick strawberries.  Kelly's family made the drive to join us for the fun and a great time was had by all!

Barely inside the gate and....she's off!

Ready for a day of fun!

I talked to you about coming to the pumpkin patch a couple of days in advance and asked if you remembered the place where we picked strawberries.  The first thing you asked was, "can I ride a pony?"  I'm sharing several picks because I adore how happy you are.

 

Cow train!

And the other train.

Corn maze.  "Don't worry Mom, we got this."

We made it!  Just before the end there was a giant pile of hay bales where you could climb to the top and see the whole maze from above.  It was nice for a feeling of accomplishment.

 

I would have loved to recreate the picture of Aunt Brandee & Uncle Matt on a hay bale from when they were little (before I was even born), but there was no chance of wrangling you and Kelly both long enough to get you to sit.  Here is the original, for my own sentimental satisfaction:

....and back to the present.  There were police and fire fighters there this weekend and we got to explore this fire truck.  We even ran into a friend from school while we were standing there.

And finally, the pumpkins!!!

Poor Kelly was so tired at this point.

I adore this family.

Love you two so much.

We had a few tickets leftover so we made time for a Mommy & Kinley train ride before heading to the car.

As is customary, there is no photographic evidence that I was here, EXCEPT for my hand in this photo and a shadow of me taking your picture somewhere above.  Have fun finding it!

(For the record, I would LOVE to have more pictures of me with you, but I can't get anyone else to take the camera.  Ever.)
