Pumpkin Patch 2010

We had a great time at The Pumpkin Patch. Trent and I were both off on Monday for Columbus Day so we took the kids to the pumpkin patch that afternoon. We were a little worried that it might be crowded since there were so many kids out of school but it was perfect. I mean, there were people there but it was nothing like last year when we went on a Sunday. And to make it even better Madison smiled for some pictures. Last year she refused to smile. All she wanted to do was jump in the bounce house. The whole way there I kept saying, when we get there we are going to take some pictures with the pumpkins AND THEN you can go jump in the bounce houses. It worked!


My sweet girl


This picture cracks me up! They had not adjusted to the bright sun! I love how Cooper has the biggest smile on his face but his eyes are closed. Makes me laugh.


Cooper is not a good outside picture taker. He makes this silly face. :)


watching other kids play...not interested in looking at me!




Cooper was walking around trying to pick up pumpkins. Madison saw that he couldn't pick them up so she went to help! She's such a sweet big sister.


This is what she did most of the time....Run, Run, Run!



watching the kids jump off the hay




Trent had to help her climb up to the top!


Then she would slide down! She loved this and did over and over again!


He just watched! I'm sure he wanted to join in on the fun. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on top next year.







This totally cracks me up! I have a feeling the next few years will look like this! Can you see the difference in boys and girls. Even at this age, Madison would stand still for the picture. He had better things to do, like play in the dirt.


I cropped it so you could see the face Cooper is making.

Finally the picture taking is over and it was time to play! She went down this slide a million times and never got tired of it.


Then we moved onto the bounce house! She jumped with Cooper for awhile and then she left him to go back to the slide.


He wasn't really sure what to think about it. He kinda just sat there. I had to eventually go in and get him. He kept trying to walk to me but kept falling. I couldn't get him to crawl out.

We had such a good time. It was actually pretty hot for only being in the 80's. There wasn't much wind. We were so thankful that it wasn't packed and we were able to enjoy ourselves. The kids had a great time and crashed in the car on the way home.


Wearing my sunglasses- before she fell asleep!
