Pumpkin Patch 2012

This past Saturday we decided it was time to head out to the pumpkin patch.  With several in the area we chose Reily's Farm due to it's closeness & the fun activities they have for kids (Last year when my parents were here, we actually went here also--see last year's blog post--it's crazy how small the girls where last year).  Of course, the day we decide to go look for our pumpkins it would be cold...beautiful, but in my opinion, cold!  We went around noon so the sun was in full force, but I still got a few cute pics.  You can't really see it, but the girls had on matching Elmo Halloween shirts, which they are adorable & I'll try for a better pic soon!  Both girls didn't know what to make of the Hay Ride out to the "Patch", but Ella had a blast when we got to the patch.  She was very interested in the pumpkins & wanted to look at them all.  Jessie, on the otherhand, never really settled down after her ride on the "tractor".  She was very clingy & wasn't all that interested in picking a "Jack", which was a surprise to me seeing as how she loves her pumpkins & was talking about going to the "Punkin Patch" all week.  After we got our Jacks loaded on the hay ride & we had made our way back down to the activities, we did a kiddie corn maze, the petting zoo, got some kettle corn, & dada had a much earned funnel cake after carrying our not so small Jacks down the hill to the car :)  It was a fun trip, although, as Michael & I both said later in the day...in a year or so they will enjoy it even more.  Guess it means we've got even more fun stuff to come with the girls!  Enjoy some pics of them at the Pumpkin Patch!

Before the trip to the patch...checking out all the pumpkins

Looks like one just her size

Precious pumpkin

Of course, if lil' sis got to pick up a Jack, she has to also

Holding on for dear life on the tractor ride, I don't know why she was so scared

Ella's face says it all...why are you doing this to me ??

I just love this one

My 3 favorite people

Ella actually started crawling around to look at all the Jacks

Searching for the perfect Jacks

I'm talking in this one..probably telling Michael how to work the camera, but I still like it :)

More interested in the kettle corn than having their pic taken with old mom, oh well
