Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday.  When I picked Sam up from school to head over there - it was nice and sunny.  Even for the first 15 minutes we were there playing and waiting for the hay ride - it was nice and sunny.  However, once the hayride began the sky turned a dark grey color (not a good sign) and by the time we got out to pick our pumpkins the rain had begun and only got heavier the longer we were out there. But we didn't let that ruin our fun. The girls chased after chickens -- tried SO hard to catch them. They ran through a hay maze, played with corn kernels, and race rubber ducks in a water pump thing. Sam joined in the fun of the chasing chickens and corn kernels.  He also found a sling shot that he shot apples at targets -- which I am pretty sure he was supposed to pay for - but he did it anyway.  I walked far away from him and pretended I wasn't with him. :)   
The girls picked their perfect pumpkins and then we went home.  Sam and I didn't get pumpkins for a few reasons.  For one - it was hecka expensive and for two -- we will already be carving enough. :) 


This is Gwen's new "smile" - she does it in almost every picture lately :)
ahhhhhh  Sam with his SWEET hair ;)
Addie having fun with the corn
    As much I as tried to get them all to cooperate and look at me - this is the best I could do.


          The Hay Maze.  There is Gwenny's "smile" again. 
  Notice the grey sky behind us. Storms a brewing!!
                                                    Gwenny really wanted a green pumpkin
      Only took Addie about 1 hour to pick hers :)

HAHAHA about the comment on Sam's hair! SO FUNNY. April, just keep telling him how much you love it. I think you should ask him if you can brush it at night before bed. HA!

I saw on the news yesterday that there was a storm up there. I hope it wasn't too bad while you were still out. CUTE pictures too. I love Gwen's new smile. Such a doll face :)

Oh, I gave you an award. Check out my blog to see it ;)
