Pumpkin Patch!





First we did the corn maze!  It was a lot of fun and we had to find all the questions that were posted around and answer them on a little sheet of paper that we got for a chance to win a GIANT pumpkin.   We didn't do that great.  They were really tricky questions.  Did you know that Americans eat 900% more brocolli than they did 20 years ago???  Ya, we didn't either.
(the picture in the upper left is my favorite! isn't she gorgeous?!)



Then we got to go and pick our pumpkins.  The girls each got a string that was a certain length to determine how big of a pumpkin they got to pick.  We found a great pumpkin that was taller than is was skinny and the string fit around the middle!  But there was a catch to the whole string thing, the string had to be able to go around the pumkins middle and also top to bottom, so we had to put that one back :(
 But we still ended up with really great pumpkins and couple of really cute little decorative ones too!

The girls all wanted to ride in the wheel barrow.  It lasted just long enough to take a couple of pictures.  That's my cousin Samantha pushing my girls and her two girls, Elyse and Hailey.


Some of me and my girlies.  I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so I put them all.



PICTURE TIME!! 
I think Trinity has a future in modeling.  She cracks me up at how she always has to pose for the camera.  Elli had had enough by the time we were done, as you can see from the one of her crying.


I was a fun morning!!  Thanks for inviting us Jes!
