Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday, we went to Carleton Farms with our good friends, the Williams family. I had never been to a pumpkin patch before, and was so excited to go! We were greeted by friendly scarecrows...

And a HUGE field full of happy orange pumpkins, just waiting to be picked!

It was Sawyer's first time to see a pumpkin. Some of them were bigger than he is!

Lucy chose the perfect pumpkin...and tried to carry it to our wheelbarrow. Needless to say, her dad ended up carrying the pumpkin, and Lucy.

We all thought the "pumpkin cannon" was pretty cool. The cannon shot those pumpkins the length of 3 football fields! At the end of their flight, the pumpkins usually burst!

Oh yes, there was a corn maze, of course. We didn't actually do the maze, but we had fun taking some pictures near the cornstalks. (Thanks, Bracan, for the fun family photo!) We also got to go on a hayride in a wagon.

It was also baby Alice's first time at the pumpkin patch. She and Sawyer are a week apart in age. She looked so sweet and cozy all cuddled up to her momma in her pink suit.

There were animals, too (of course, it is a real farm!) When Sawyer gets really excited his eyes get as big as saucers. Come to think of it, they are like that most of the time...



Lucy was being a little camera shy.

Jacob finally caught her in the mini maze...I think her happy and very cute smile sum up how we all felt..it was a perfect autumn day and a great time was had by all!

Such cute pictures. Those big saucer eyes must belong on cute baby boys. Collin has some of the same ones!
