The Pumpkin Patch!

Diane and Jason are in town so we all went on a field trip together. I love having good friends and good family memories. It used to be a tradition where we'd go with Holdaways every October and now that we're back from Moscow, we picked up the tradition again!


Ryanna liked the chickens.
All the Holdaways!
Ryanna and Dawson got to go through a little hay bale maze. Ryanna ran ahead because it was easy and fun for her...while...
Dawson got lost and had to be rescued!
Thank goodness that Grandpa went in there to save them!
We got to ride the tractor over to the Pumpkin Patch....
...it was coooooooold!
Ryanna loved every minute of it in her pretty new purple coat from Grandmother Velta and Papa Moe.

Dawson has a new coat from Grandmother Velta and Papa Moe too! Lucky kids.

Dawson liked this one, but couldn't move it. He didn't even move it when he sat on it! The kids have to be able to carry their own pumpkin off the field, so we passed on this one.
"I'm not too sure about this! Don't leave me here!"

He tripped...AGAIN!
MarLeah and her giant pumpkin.
He wouldn't move out of this spot because he kept falling down.
Cheese!
Carter insisted on being held or on our shoulders. He got tripped MANY MANY times over the pumpkin vines and was easily frustrated. Poor little thing!
On the hayride again!
Wheeling the loot to the cars.
Poor Carter!
He was so tired by the end and was ready to go home.
Look at Carter's pumpkin! Isn't it cute?

All the kids and the pumpkins
Carter was doing his "CHEESE!" face to the wrong camera!
Carter caught a ride to the van, he wasn't too sure about it.
Cute kids!

Ryanna was trying to get Carter to smile, but he wasn't interested in it.

Next post...CARVINGS and other such fun. I can't wait to post about what we made out of them! Ahhhhh, I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!
