Last Saturday we took the children to the Pumpkin Patch. It was cloudy, cooler and a little bit windy. Probably shouldn't have had Hunter out in it but the pumpkin patch is a tradition in my book. We were on the edge of a rain storm the whole time we visited. The kids loved it and we timed it right as the rain decided to fall just as we were on our way to the truck to leave!

The hay bale maze was a hit. Hailey cracks me up at how excited she gets over mazes.

Hunter went and checked out the tractor while Hailey played on the hay bales. I didn't think Hunter needed to have anything more irritating his lungs. Miss Hailey had a blast climbing and jumping on the hay. I love to do that too!

Brady took some really cute pictures of Hunter on this tractor that I plan to print up for his wall in his room. Love this little guy and his love for machines.

Animal Feeding Time!

They liked feeding the goats and one went for Hailey's cute bracelet. She was a little cautious of feeding the horse for some reason. She did however feed the cow but once his big ole long, dry tongue came out and licked her hand she had enough of him! 

Then we were off for a tractor ride through the woods to spot numbered pumpkins and decorations. We got split up again this year on the ride and as tradition would have it didn't get a decent picture because pictures irritate Hailey and Hunter moved too much.

Then we were off to play on the slides and rope swing. Hailey would have stayed on the swing super long had it not been for needing to take turns :)

We received 4 tickets at the entrance so we could pick out a pumpkin and take home. There is a pumpkin shortage this year so I am sure that is why they handed out tickets. Anyway if you know me well you know that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE pumpkins. Hailey was with me searching for hers. I found a cute one I liked. Hunter was with Brady. Brady picked out one he liked. Hunter picked out a cute little one and then found another one over by me and went back to Brady. So his nice daddy put his own pumpkin back and let him have his ticket basically. I didn't know he did that. Hailey didn't hear all this and she found 2 she liked as well. I kept telling her well just choose one because we all only have one ticket. It didn't even dawn on me that I could have and should have given her MY ticket. The pumpkin thing in me I guess over shot that idea. So Brady hands them our tickets and we go on our merry way except that I stop dead in my tracks and tell the lady "I'm trading!" I spotted the most perfect pumpkin. Guess who's pumpkin it was originally? Brady's! So the cute pumpkin came home after all and I am really sorry Hailey that your mom didn't think to share her pumpkin ticket with you. Pumpkins make me darn happy. Too bad I can't seem to grow one! Someday....

I like this one of Hailey. She is in her natural state and content.

The Family with their pumpkins!
