I am very behind on updating the blog with posts, but better late than never, aye! :) A couple of weeks ago Terri and I piled up the kiddos and headed North to Caroline Cousin's Pumpkin Patch. Diana joined Braden and I, and Terri and her two sweetie pies joined along in the fun as well. We filled our tummies with warm soup and grilled cheese and then off we went to find fabulous pumpkins for this Halloween season. It was a COLD day...cold is saying it mildly really, it was FREEZING, especially when you figure it was the beginning of October and last year we went in shorts and t-shirts (definitely not the case this year, as you will see below in the pics). The kids had a blast playing on all of the playsets, tricycles, feeding the animals, playing in the maze, going on a train ride, and getting to pick their very own pumpkin. We did have to take a break in all that fun to go inside and warm up with a cup of hot chocolate and a pumpkin donut for a snack - yummo! We had a blast, and this day ended as most days do when we take Braden out for a day full of fun - he was asleep before we even made it to our drive way - that is how I know that we had a great day out! I hope you enjoy the pics as much as we enjoyed the day, even if we were a tad-bit cold!
Braden, Terri, Ethan, Olivia & Diana posing for a fun picture while enjoying the afternoon at the pumpkin patch, look at all of those smiles. It is true...you can still have fun outside, even when it is cold!
I had to go potty really bad, and they had this little picture spot set up right beside the port-a-potties...Braden thought it would be hilarious if he made me pose in the photo-op location before I got to use the real deal...so to please him I complied...he thinks this picture is as funny as he thought it would be - little snot - ha!
Getting ready for our train ride...do they look frost bit at all? ;)
Braden and I on the train ride, we snuggled up together to stay warm.
On to the pumpkin patch, they are excited to go and see all the pumpkins and pick their very own!
They each have the pumpkin of their choice. The rule was, you pick it, you carry it! This eliminated them picking out a 40 pound pumpkin expecting their moms to carry it around the pumpkin patch the rest of the day!
Braden is very proud of his pumpkins...even cold he still beams with pride ;)
On our way back to the park portion of the pumpkin patch, the day is almost over :(
One last activity...Braden wanted to give it a whirl to rope a calf...he wasn't all that great with actually roping the calf, but he sure looked good twirling that rope :)
CRASHED OUT - he got warmed up, and then he was out like a light!
