Pumpkin Patch 2007

Yesterday we hooked up with some friends and headed to the pumpkin patch. I have to give a little disclaimer --the weather has been in the low 80s all week until yesterday - back into the 90s. So my well thought out PP outfits just didn't happen. Lesson learned, next year I'll go as soon as it feels remotely cool :0) So here are a ton of pictures from yesterday.

The crew (minus the babies):

Carter is the watermelon:



Waiting for the "train" ride: At least they are both looking at the camera:

Rope swing (he would have stayed on this for hours):
Visiting with the farm animals:

We also ventured through the corn maze, played endlessly on the playground and drove around the hay bale maze on bikes. They had a great time. We didn't buy a pumpkin (very expensive) but had to stop and get some at the store on the way home (so unfestive!).

We still need to do a pumpkin patch trip, soon I'm sure. I really like Makenna's vest and tights, they're super cute! And you look great in the picture w/the three of you!

I am jealous. We went to the apple orchard last Saturday and I forgot my camera! I told Andrew we need to go again so I can take pictures:-) We didn't buy apples either, too much money. Plus we have an apple tree in our back yard. But it's still fun to go.

Super Cute! I still can't imagine Fall in the 90's, that just isn't right! I know what you mean about the prices at the PP, I think we will be going the grocery store route too!

Adorable pictures! Looks like a great pp! Your kids still had on fall colors - very cute compromise on the short sleeves! And you look great, Monique!

Hilary said...

ooh, I love Makenna's outfit... She looks adorable. I can't imagine fall in the HOT! You poor dear! ;o)

Meeque,

A real pumpkin patch visit is when there is a frost on the pumpkin! So, I guess you definitely qualify!

How fun! I love going to the PP! You got so many cute/fun pictures. Yea, PP outfits were a bust here, too. What is up with this heat? Shaylee just wore that vest M has on the other day. I LOVE it! You look so cute, too. I want to see your tummy!

Kayla said...

I agree that we need to see the tummy. And, even though it didn't feel like fall, it looks like you kids had a good time.

Melissa said...

Looks like the perfect fall outing (minus the heat)!

andrea said...

oh gosh...the heat. Certainly changes plans, doesn't it? I love M's outfit. The tights are so, so cute. She is delicious. I love her. And one more request to see a belly shot. You could even paint it like a pumpkin ;0)

ahhhh, the babies! carter still looks so much like parker. hey, did I tell you that I have a student named Carter Parkin? I swear I never get his name right and he's been my student for 2 years! He just laughs though, because I've told him the situation.
How come you don't look pregnant???????? No fair!
