Pumpkin Patch


On Wednesday, we headed to a nearby farm, Butler's Orchard, for a playdate with all the moms from our MOPS group. It was one of the first beautiful mornings after a week of rain. So, it was wonderful to spend some time outside, as well as with some fun friends.

We got to take a fun hayride to the pumpkin patch. Madeline searched for the perfect pumpkin. Which is now "displayed" down inside of a pot next to our fireplace. I'm not sure why she thinks it belongs there.


Why are pumpkins so cute in the hands of little kids?


Whoa! It's hard to maneuver around all the pumpkins that grow in/get dumped into a pumpkin patch.


We got to eat some yummy apples. Madeline had 2 while we were there. That's a lot for her :)


We found some other fun things to do as well. Madeline is following all of her friends up the hill to the BIG slides. Unfortunately she didn't get to ride them because they were too big to do by herself and they looked a little too rough for someone that is 37 weeks pregnant.


But, she was happy to play in and on this tunnel.




And she was happy to run "super fast" through the corn maze. At least for the first half of it. Then, momma had to carry her.


We had a beautiful morning out of the house and with fun friends. Fall is just the best time of the year.
