Pumpkin Patch Beauties

Last Saturday we rounded up the girls and cousins and headed for the pumpkin patch and corn maze. Fall just wouldn't be fall without pumpkin patches and outdoor fun. First we played on the tractor swings, redneck trampoline, and irrigation pipe slide thing. Next we tackled the pumpkin patch. I will admit it is a different feeling walking through a pumpkin patch when it is in the high 80s and you are getting sunburned. I do miss MI fall times and cider mills and sweater weather BUT it is really nice to not have to buckle kids in car seats with ginormous coats on. At the pumpkin patch there was a cool little pond/dock area. Taryn was really into it, especially when she noticed pumpkins that had found their way into the water. After the pumpkin patch we hopped the wagon over to the corn maze (but we did need to stop for water and popcorn on the way). The girls enjoyed it-we opted for the normal maze vs the haunted one. Taryn was even a little concerned at the normal one. She noticed some scary stroller missing a wheel that was turned over in the path. SO we are all glad for a tamer version and no nightmares. Here are some pictures.

I just thought this was a cool picture. My mom walked with Cami and Taryn around the pond while we tried to get a picture of Jocelyn. I looked up and said hey take a picture of that while they are reflecting in the pond. Cool.
Cami and Taryn agreed that this was the best pumpkin.
