Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we had a very busy day! We started out with church, where 45 minutes before our family pictures for our Christmas card Austin decided to run straight into a door frame and bust his lip open (thankfully he didn't knock any teeth out)! After that we had our family photos, I am really excited to go and look at them on Thursday, they were taken by Adam at Treasured Moments Photography. Adam took our photos at the beach last April, so we know they will be great, it is just a matter of how bad Austin's busted lip looks. I don't know yet if we will post them here or if you will have to wait for the Christmas card to come out???

After we were done with pictures, we decided that we were going to have very few opportunities left to make it to the pumpkin patch, so we decided to go. We went to the Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch. We were told about this pumpkin patch last year but didn't have time to make it out there, it is about 45 minutes from our house (in light traffic). I am really glad that we took the time to go out there this year. The kids had a blast! There was a ton to do, we went thru the haunted house, took a train ride around the park, went thru the hay maze about a dozen times, and of course picked out our pumpkins. The kids were really good at taking photos for us, we ended up with over 140 of them but once again you are only going to get a select few. They really do enjoying taking photos more and more every day, they like knowing that everyone gets to see them and wants to see them, so enjoy!

Victory, we found our way out!

Neal must have had food stuck on his face again, they were thinking that he was pretty funny!

Don't ask how they ended up laying on top of pumpkins, it couldn't have been that comfortable, but I think this is definitely one of my favorites!

Paige just couldn't decide on her pumpkin, there were just too many to choose from!

Paige finally talked Neal and Austin into coming and helping her pick out her pumpkin
