Pumpkin Patch '10

Our family has been going to the same pumpkin patch for the past 12 years, Tadd & I went the first year we were married. Back then it was a small fruit and vegetable stand that offered a tractor ride out to the field in the fall, and self pick pumpkins. Every year this cute little farm gets more commercialized, one year the pony rides showed up, the next year, bouncy houses, this year was a go-cart track. This is in addition to a corn maze, giant pumpkin launcher, mini train pulled by a tractor, petting zoo, apple cider doughnut... the list goes on! Now with all these activities, it gets expensive to take a family of 5 to the farm. Luckily we were celebrating Grandpa Larry's birthday and he kindly decided to spring for wristbands for all 6 grandkids. So we played all day and had a grand time. Here are a few highlights...

Happy Birthday Grandpa Larry, we love you!


Uncle Jared bought Henry some french fries, who can resist this face?


Tadd may or may not be ramming a 10 year old girl off the tracks here.


Pony rides!!


Harrison was in heaven.


Our pumpkin has character!


What a day! We had so much fun, and can't wait to go back next year.... Henry fell asleep within 15 seconds of being buckled into his carseat, with a half eaten apple cider doughnut in his tired, grubby hand.

I love those pictures...such great expressions!! Henry is such a doll, that pucker face is adorable.

And that picture of Tadd in the go cart is hilarious!

What a fun day!

I love it! What a cute family! Fall is just magical. So fun to see kids (old and young) enjoy it as much as I do.
