Pumpkin Patch 09

We were so excited this year that we would be able to take Rylee to the pumpkin patch. So as soon as it opened we went. Our first visit was with our mom's group. We had a great time riding the train (Rylee loved it- i think it was her favorite part of the day, going to the petting zoo, and finally playing with the huge pumpkins. We had a really nice picnic under the apple trees and then packed up and headed home. It was a great first trip to the pumpkin patch.

While Rylee and I were there we realized (ok I realized) we had to get the extra large pumpkins- the ones that need a fork lift to be picked up. So we knew this would be a job for daddy. so the next day we headed off to the pumpkin patch with daddy and mema in tow.

This time we started with a picnic next to the Koi pond and then took a tour of the farm. Then it was off to find the perfect pumpkins. After searching high and low we found two HUGE pumpkins. So Chris headed off to get the man the drives the tractor to lift them and put them in his truck. While he did that MeMa and I took advantage of taking lots of pictures of Rylee playing in the pumpkins. On the way out we had to stop at the bakery and get some delicious carmel apples and apple bread. Then it was off for naps.

Overall, I think Rylee enjoyed her first trip to the pumpkin patch. I can't wait to see her reaction next year when she can run all around. Oh boy I think we will be in trouble. :)
