Pumpkin Patch and More


A couple of weekends ago we headed out for our annual pumpkin patch visit. It was a beautiful day, and we went to a new patch. It wasn't very busy, so we could do whatever we wanted without waiting. It was great! As a mom knows, the pumpkin patch makes for lots of great pictures, so you've been warned. :)

The girls raced ducks with these water pumps.

One little, two little, three little Indians...

The girls crawled through a long, suspended tunnel while Brandon had fun shaking it.

Sadie loves jumping in the "kangaroo."

We had so much fun on the slide! I love the look on Sadie's face.




After sliding, the girls loved jumping into the hay pile.


And then they loved the trikes...


Analise and Maisie decided to ride the big bikes.

The girls fed the goats the food we found on the ground.

Analise and Brandon jumped and jumped on this big jump pillow. The other two weren't big enough, so we sat down and ate snacks while we watched. Analise and Brandon both had LOTS of fun, but they both had to go to the chiropractor a couple of days later...

Brandon is high in the air, and Analise is bouncing along with it.



We finally took the wagon ride out to the  pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins. We were the only ones on the wagon, so that made it more special.

It was such a family fun morning. I love those moments; I want to cherish them.  One of the reasons we went to this new pumpkin patch was because it was close to both of Brandon's grandmothers. So we met one grandma for lunch, and then we went and saw the other grandma. We hadn't seen them for a while, so it was good to take the time to visit.
Here is Grandma S

We got home around 3:30, and Brandon and Analise went turkey hunting. This was Analise's first time to go with Brandon, and she was SUPER excited! They met up with Uncle D and two cousins. The only thing that concerned Analise was the sound of the gun. She shouldn't have worried; no guns were shot.

One funny about the hunting: Sadie told Analise before she left, "When you see a turkey walking, you shoot him dead."  Yep, the three year  old knows what to do.
