Pumpkin Patch 2017
On Saturday evening we ventured out to the Pumpkin Patch for some family time. We always look forward to the pumpkin patch every year. I love the fall colors, watching the kids run around looking for the perfect pumpkin, riding the hay ride, and just being together.
All of the kids love pumpkins. Jude has been calling all pumpkins a "pumpkin patch"! Cutest thing ever. We got there at the perfect time. The sun was about an hour from setting and the photographer in me was happy about that because that meant optimal lighting for my pictures. The kids of course care nothing of the pictures but capturing those memories is always so important to me. So yes...I chase light :)
I got caught in some pumpkin prickles a few times chasing after the kids or backing up into them on accident trying to catch a picture lol. Jude picked up just about every little pumpkin claiming it to be his "favorite" and then quickly dropped it and was on to his next "favorite punkin patch.
Liam looked at a bunch and finally decided on a green and white one since green is his favorite color.
Ruy hid from me taking pictures of his as usual...later he'll complain there's hardly any pictures of him though! And then I'll have to remind him if he wants pictures of himself...he has to actually let me take them :) I was able to get a few though. I love seeing him still enjoy running around and playing. He's getting so big I know those days are coming to an end soon so for now I'm enjoying every moment of it!
Alanna ran and danced around in her little skirt looking for her perfect little pumpkin. She's so little and sweet and beautiful. I hope she always has such a free little spirit and always loves to dance.
We love the hayride they have, the corn maze and the play ground. They tried to convince me to get into the corn maze but um...I'm super nervous in tight closed in spaces so I opted out again. The hay ride we all loved though! Liam was a little scared he'd fall off when we'd hit a big bump.
We left and headed out to dinner for a really good meal and then a little date night for Nathan and I when we got home watching our favorite show. The kids can't wait to paint their pumpkins and then dress up in their new costumes! Fall is such a fun time!!!
