Rewind - Pumpkin Patch

Yes, once again I am so very far in behind in my postings.  Ah, but that is life with three little ones, right?  So let's rewind just a bit to our visit to the pumpkin patch on October 21st.  This was our very first visit ever to a pumpkin patch.  I know, can you believe it?  Let me explain a bit: my parents always grew things like pumpkins, so there was never a need to pay for a pumpkin.  This year, hail destroyed most of their pumpkins, so off to a local pumpkin patch we went, and it was so much fun that we plan to do it again next year.  Grandma Maggie and Grandpa Bill joined us on this chilly outing in search of the perfect pumpkins. 

Our day began with Cameron leading us through the corn maze.  Let me tell you, he takes after his father with his great map reading skills.  Lauren slept through most of this part.

Then the hunt for the perfect pumpkins began.  The kids had so much fun picking out their very own pumpkin.

Our next stop was the small petting zoo.  Lauren wasn't so sure about the animals.  She loved to watch them, but didn't want them getting too close.

We then enjoyed some hot apple cider and walked around the farm.
