Pumpkin patch

We took the kids to a pumpkin patch last week.  We had been driving past a few in our neighborhood for weeks so the kids were really excited that we could actually go and pick out some pumpkins to take home.  (Last year we didn't need to buy any pumpkins because our garden produced a lot of them...but we didn't have room to plant any this year.)  So we got a quick family shot (minus Rob) and then let the kids run wild among the pumpkins!
 
There was a sign that said we were supposed to find the perfect pumpkin...Sadie took it very seriously.  ha ha.  She looked at lots of different pumpkins before she chose hers.

Then the kids got a ride to the very end of the patch so we could see ALL of the pumpkins before picking the perfect one.  Rob is such a fun dad.  

Zac liked trying to pick up the big ones.  ha ha

Then there was a fun tractor to climb on.  

Here is daddy showing off his muscles.  Look...one hand!

Emery.  She could barely reach the steering wheel!

And of course we couldn't leave Rob out! Hah!

The corn pit was strategically placed right by where you stand in line to pay for your pumpkins...so while Rob waited in line, I watched the kids swim in the corn.

And Zac did cannonballs over and over.

RIght before we left, the kids HAD to climb the hay bales.  By the way, I love that in all of these pictures Sadie's hair is crazy.  It was crazy hair day at school!

Riley even enjoyed the trip!  Can't wait to do it again next year!
