The Pumpkin Patch

We took a trip to the Big Orange Pumpkin patch with all our favorite neighbors a few weeks ago.  It was so much fun! Of course the kids cooperated wonderfully when we tried to take a group photo- there are 11 of them- Patton and Lucy had to be strong armed into the pictures



Berk with her pumpkin selection
 Patton loved picking pumpkins- and trying to see how many he could carry



 E Bop with her pumpkin-
 P loved wearing Ryan's hat- he thought it was so cool- I thought he looked so cute with it covering his whole head feeding the goat (I think that's what that is....right?)
 On the Hay Ride and a quick lesson on what makes a terrible picture - lighting being 1st and kids that don't want to take a picture being second.
 All the Dad's tried to revolt against the trip to the pumpkin patch- as if they don't go every year- and as if all going together wasn't so much more fun.  I guess Ben and Chris were still pretty bent out of shape about it- usually we have to drag them in from talking out on the sidewalk.
 Berk and Madison- our cute little neighborhood kindergartners

 Love my girls

 The goats(?) loved to take the cups away
 Luckily everyone thought it was pretty funny
 Especially Berk
We've been invited to go to another pumpkin patch with Amanda and Brad tomorrow- wonder if I can get Chris to go again this year.....stay tuned.

Playing Outside

We've finally dipped below 100 degrees in TX- so its playing outside time! I think we've only been out once so far though because we've also hit allergy season and I am miserable.  P has been pretty bad too but he doesn't seem to get the correlation between being outside and feeling terrible.
 
Berkley fixed her own hair and was super proud of it
 My little skater girl
 I love this one of P chasing her in the background
 If you are wondering about his coat- he insisted on wearing it. It was seriously at least 88 outside. He and Grace were picking flowers out of our flower beds together.
 I tried to get a pic of them.....they were pretty uncooperative.
