A trip to the pumpkin patch

Sunday we headed to Jolly Orchards to meet our friends the Kraemers. We had a great time taking a hay ride, picking pumpkins, playing in the play yard, and petting goats and sheep. We really lucked out with the weather. It rained much of the weekend, including just after we left, but the grey skies stayed dry during our fun.

The main event... PUMPKINS! Sitting by them, on them and picking them.

Family shots

Sweet Erin enjoyed most of the day from the warmth of the stroller.Kyle and his friend McKinleigh on the hayride.In the play area. There was a bouncy caterpillar that was a hit, as well as a petting area with different animals.Kyle has a Clifford the Big Red Dog book called The Costume Contest. In it Clifford uses a great big pumpkin as a costume, making holes for his legs and tail. Kyle was SOOO disappointed after running all the way to this pumpkin and realizing Clifford was not inside.And a yummy apple with carmel before leaving.Kyle and McKinleigh hug goodbye. Awwww!

I miss taking my kids to places like that. I guess I have to wait for grandchildren before heading to the pumpkin patch again.

Great photos, as usual!
