On Monday morning, it was off to the pumpkin patch with Tom and Krystle and the kids. We went to this same pumpkin patch last year, and had a great time...and although it was a little different this year, I think we all still really enjoyed our time there. The weather was AMAZING - it was actually HOT (not just warm), which is pretty unusual for this area in October.
Checking out the 'monster pumpkins'. As soon as Tom saw these, he said he was getting one.
As soon as Nolan saw the monster pumpkins, he thought he should lift one up! Needless to say, it was a little too heavy.
It must be a family thing because Abby really liked the big pumpkins too!
The Robertson's walking through the corn maze.
Unfortunately, the various paths through the corn maze weren't cleared as well as they were last year, so we really had to watch where we were walking. And, the kids had to be especially careful to avoid stumbling. As I mentioned, it was really HOT while we were there...we were supposed to be finding signs throughout the maze; each sign contained a hidden letter, and once we found all six letters, we would be able to spell a fall themed word. We hadn't found all the letters, but we were all getting sweaty, so we just decided to find our way out and head back to the store.We were the only ones on the wagon, so Nolan took advantage and got as close as he could to the tractor!
And, what better way to end a trip to the pumpkin patch on a HOT fall day then with an ice cream cone...
I have so many other pictures from our day, it was so hard to select just a few! Special thanks to Tom and Krystle for agreeing to take this little outing with Curt and I - it was my idea, and despite having a busy weekend already, they went along with Auntie Boo's suggestion.
