Pumpkin Patch

Today TJ and I went to a pumpkin patch! The weather has been beautiful this week so I am trying to take advantage and be outside as much as possible before the dreaded winter comes. We met TJ's friend Emily and her mom Sarah there. Sarah is also a stay at home mom and Emily is also 15 months old so it's wonderful to have a friend to play with!

I decided to be daring today and shot everything in manual. I haven't figured out photoshop yet so these are all unedited (wow I feel so professional saying that, hehe) but I couldn't wait to post what fun we had today. Here's just a sneak preview!

TJ's favorite part of the pumpkin patch - the tricycles! Of course he can't reach the pedals but he LOVES being pushed around in anything with wheels.


This is Emily - isn't she a cutie?

Both kids loved the corn maze. Sarah was a bit worried they wouldn't stay on track and we'd be chasing them through the stalks but they totally got it. Of course, they ate some sticks and dirt and rocks as well...

Hugs! There was a playground made of hay bales. Great fun! Tunnels and climbing - a kids dream come true.


There is another, even bigger, pumpkin patch near us that we are going to go to with Jim in October and pick out pumpkins. I ran into another mom that had just been there and she said they have giraffes even!! Stay tuned.... ;-)
