Our Day at the Pumpkin Patch

Pigs AND Pumpkins

As soon as we arrived at the pumpkin patch, Maddie spotted the animals and had to have a look. She kept tapping her chest (sign language for Please) and pointing at the pigs.

I think she not only wanted a closer look, but to take one home!!!

She got her wish...well at least to get a closer look...Thank you Aunt Jamie!

I think Maddie would have gotten right down in there with the pigs had we not held her back. She loves to "ride" Braxton, and these pigs looked to be about the right size as well!


Time to get some cute pumpkin shots...Maddie had other ideas. I think she was showing me that, "those kids don't have to sit for pictures, they are just having fun!!!"

The sign says "Pumpkin Patch," why aren't we going there?

Staged photo shoot with pumpkins

Please, NO photos...

Maddie is one of the only kids I know who prefers NOT to have her picture taken. She was doing everything in her power to look everywhere but at Mommy. She would be smiling and having fun, until I pulled out the camera...go figure!

Ok, so this is kinda neat!

I think I can talk in this one, reminds me of my cell phone!

Not gonna look...

No fair bringing Daddy into the picture to try and get me to smile...

Pony Rides

Maddie finally gets her chance to ride a real live pony.

She LOVES her play ones at home!

Very fun...

Oops...

Hang on Daddy, this ride is kinda bumpy!

Waiting for her first Pony Ride

I may be getting ready for my first Pony ride, but I am still not going to look at the camera!

Daddy, I like them all, but can I ride that brown one over there?

I think I should wear my shades so I can see where the horse is going!

Hay ride to Pumpkin Patch

We all got on the hay wagon for our ride to the Pumpkin Patch.

Maddie is fascinated by the straw...another first!

"If I play with Mom's glasses I won't have to look at the camera...

Daddy and Maddie are both very excited to be getting close to the Pumpkins!!!

"Mom, please put down the camera, I see the one I want...over there!"

How do I choose a pumpkin

"This one is good, but wait..."

"I think I see the one, look, over there..."
