The Pumpkin Patch

I love going to the pumpkin patch each year. We weren't able to do something like this when I was a kid. Unfortunately, right now it's cheaper to get the pumpkins at HEB or Walmart, so we really just come to the pumpkin patch to look, take pictures, and do any of the activities they might have, but it's still fun.



On the way to the patch, Shelby and Taylor started holding hands. I love that they do this. They always do this when we're walking places. It's soooo sweet.



Tom and Payden joined up with them, which was sooo cute. I love this picture. I love that our girls love holding our hands and each other's hands. I hope they never stop!!



The first thing we did was stop to take pictures at these bales of hay they had setup. The sun was bright, so Shelby had a really hard time not squinting. We got a few pictures.



After about 2 of them, Payden left; apparently there were too many things to do and go see.



After the pictures, we decided to go look at the pumpkins. Shelby really seemed to contemplate this one. I wonder what she's thinking.



She liked this one. Unfortunately she wouldn't stop squinting her eyes (her eyes tend to be really sensitive to light) or making silly faces so this is the best shot we got of her.



Taylor of course had to do some silly faces for the camera. Here's #1.



Silly face #2.



Silly face #3.



Silly face #4.



Silly face #5.



Finally she went over and picked this one up and gave me a cute face. I love her belly in this one. She's getting sooo big now, but she's still got this cute toddler belly. It's fun to rub.



While Shelby and Taylor were looking at pumpkins, Payden found this picnic table, which she just had to climb. She's become quite the climber and climbs up EVERYTHING. I have to move our chairs away from the table, so she won't climb up them and get into things.



She did decide to join us for a second, but did not seem at all interested in the pumpkins.



For the most part, this is all we saw of her the whole time - her backside. She was on the move the WHOLE time. Man I couldn't believe how busy she was.



Of course, we had to try this out. The girls had fun sticking their faces through. I love this one because it shows their personalities. Shelby will look at us as asked so that we can take the picture. Taylor and Payden have to check things out first, find each other, and do whatever else their little minds come up with before they're willing to let us take their pictures.



They are too cute!!



We found this area with a whole bunch of little pumpkins (which were for field trip students). The girls loved the small ones. Taylor found this white one, which she thought was really cool.



Of course, Shelby liked it too. Who wouldn't?



Payden was interested in the small pumpkins and even picked up a few, but as you can tell, she was still on the go and didn't stop for long to look at the pumpkins.



I love this picture of Shelby. I think it's such a cute little stance.



Payden of course didn't last long and was off on another adventure before too long.



As Tom, Shelby, and Taylor left for the car, Payden found this wagon that was meant for carrying pumpkins around. Of course being my climbing little girl, she climbed right in and sat down. Too cute! She's just sitting there like that's what it was meant for.

It was nice to go and be outside (yes we could enjoy the weather a bit). I love this time of year. It is my favorite, and I love all the things I get to do with my family.
