Prepare yourself for picture overload. The thing about pumpkin patches is that they provide ample opportunities for photos of the kids. Now, I'm sure that many a wife has convinced her husband that it would be a fun family outing, in order to catch these moments. Heath knew what my game plan was.
This was our second year to visit the pumpkin patch. Last year gave me one of my favorite pictures of Cayden...ever. And I was hoping for another one today. We met Mills and her family there, because it just wouldn't have been the same without them.
It's crazy how much difference a year makes. They are getting so big, and I think it's hard sometimes for us to see that until we compare photos. Both Mills and Cayden were a little more willing to sit down for a photo last year...This year they were everywhere.
Another obvious difference is the addition of Sydney and Beckham. We had to snap this photo quick because Cayden wasn't too jazzed about having Beck sit next to him. The pumpkin was strategically placed in order to prop Beckham up.
They did have a fine time throwing the baby pumpkins. The whole time I kept thinking, "If you break it, you buy it." and whether or not it applied to the pumpkin patch.
It rained hard that morning, and luckily the Tractor Supply still had rain boots. They became essential today. Especially when these two found the puddles.
Remember: It's all about the photo opp. We wrangled some pumpkins to create a seat for Beck.
Millie is much braver than Cayden. He would only ride if either Heath or I were with him. I think that if we had allowed him to go a second time, he might have gone on his own. Kristin was in front of Millie in another horse.
Never did they want to look at the camera and smile. Too busy.
Once the boots were purchased, the tickets bought, and the pumpkins paid for, it really became an expensive outing. That's okay. Cayden and Millie had a great time and it was worth it!
