Vala's Pumpkin Patch

It seems like every year we go to a pumpkin patch a couple days before Halloween and it is FREEZING... or raining. Everyone is bundled in winter coats and it is a pretty miserable experience, but we suffer through and get some pictures and a pumpkin. This year we went October 3rd and it was a beautiful sunny day. Holy cow, why did it take me 10 years to figure out that the pumpkin patch can actually be a fun day? We were there for almost 6 hours and everyone had a blast. The pumpkin cannon, haunted houses, giant jumping pillows and feeding the goats were some of the favorite activities. What a great day together.

Paul taking his mini-me for a little ride. I love how they have the same expression in this one.

Adam and Paul searching for the Great Pumpkin.

Jude would have been happy just feeding goats for 6 hours. He is such an animal lover.

Paul. Loving the hay rack ride. Geez Paul, curb your enthusiasm a little bit.

That sign is a little too appropriate. Its just in the wrong order. Paul is the malcontent (just look at how happy he is), Noah is clearly the Trouble Maker (always stirring it up with his big brothers) and Adam is the Lollygager. (how can you take a 45 minute shower and not get your hair wet??)
Picked our pumpkins.

All my sweet boys going for a ride.

I love this one. How did everyone get so big?? Guess I need to stop feeding them...

Dad helping Jude out on the trike races. Paul and Adam really had a blast with all the races.

What boy can resist a choo choo train ride?

How convenient. Jude can play in the field corn and have a snack.

Noah looks like an angel with the sun on his face.

Just so you know, his teeth are not that yellow. That is more corn in his mouth too. I was finding corn in places I don't want to talk about for the next week.

He had such a great time playing with Jude.

Well. That's the end.
