Pumpkin Patch 2013

I love going to the pumpkin patch!  It is definitely a favorite Fall activity.  This year was especially fun because both boys were old enough to enjoy it!

Sadly...this was the BEST of the family photos we tried to get!!

  

The day was gorgeous and the farm wasn't too crowded.

  

We got to have fun on the hayride,

 

picking pumpkins, 

petting animals

(Blake was OBSESSED with the animals!  I stayed in the animal bin with him while Landon did everything else and he was still upset when we had to get out!  It was so cute to watch him get so excited to be so close to the animals.  He would sit and pet them, look at them, giggle at them and touch them so gently.  From sheep to goats to pigs to chickens to bunnies...he loved them all!  We definitely might have a true animal lover on our hands!)

riding ponies, mini tractors and swings,

  

playing in the corn box and jumping in bounce houses!

Blake thought he was big enough to push the pumpkins around!

Such a big boy!

I always have visions of amazing pumpkin patch pictures with the boys holding pumpkins and standing in corn fields...unfortunately that NEVER happens!  

We couldn't get both boys to look at the same time or even one boy to look half the time!

 

 

Looking at all the pics make me smile though because it fully represents who our boys are and the time of life we are in of craziness, fun, love and joy (definitely not perfection)!

The day was amazing and such a great memory!  I love my family so much and am beyond grateful for them and the fun we can have together!

I also got to go with Landon back to the pumpkin patch on a field trip with his school. 

 

The morning was gorgeous and we had so much fun!  

Although we went to the same farm we got to do totally different things: corn maze, hay bale maze, giant slide rides and of course a hayride and pumpkin picking!

  

I always love to see Landon with his friends.  It is total love and fun (with a little bit of awkwardness mixed in)!

What a great couple of days!
