The Pumpkin Patch

We spent a family day at the local pumpkin farm and corn maze last weekend.  My mom, her friend Dorothy, and my sister got to come too.  It was so much fun!  The girls favorite part was the slides. They could have played on them for hours! We picked out pumpkins for our porch.  Daddy led us successfully through the corn maze, and we even got to have a picnic.  I couldn't ask for a better day.

The girls loved all the cut-out boards!

 The tube races.  Shelby beat both her sisters! Bret was timing them.  Can you tell where they get their competitive nature?




 Musical instruments found on a farm.  Macey was fascinated by the idea of a "dinner bell."






 The slides were by far the favorite!  The girls even got us adults on them by the end of the day.


 Our first attempt at a family photo.
 My beautiful Mama!

 Dorothy won the girls over with big cookies!
Bret showing off his new found muscles.  This picture is classic Bret!
 Riding trikes through the haystack maze.


 Family photo attempt number two in the corn maze.

 Macey and Dorothy
 Aunt Lizzy and Shelby
 Abby and Mama
 Abby and Nani
 And another classic Bret picture...could he just slide down the slide with Shelby like everyone else?  Of course not!  He decided that they would show everyone how to really go down fast by making a bullet.  You can tell by Shelby's smile in the second picture that she was loving it.

 My beautiful girls on the hayride.
 Shelby held her Daddy's hands and sang songs to him all the way out to the pumpkin patch.  It was the sweetest thing!
 My little pumpkins. It was so bright, and they just couldn't keep their eyes open!

Field trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Shelby had a field trip to the pumpkin patch/corn maze this month, and she didn't have any fun at all!

















And when she did start to fade, her buddy Sage was their to hold her hand and help her keep going!
