Pumpkin Patch

School was out today so we met up with friends and headed to the pumpkin patch. My friend Melissa drove her pickup and as soon as we arrived at the patch, all the kids climbed into the back. Here's Ashley, Morgan, Kaylyn, David, Ashley and Lilly.

Once we got them out of the truck, the 3 kindergartners (David, Kaylyn and Lilly) grabbed hands and started walking out of the parking lot. Ashley ran up and grabbed her sister's hand to join the "big kids".

With school out for the day and knowing that we were heading to the Pumpkin Patch, Raven joined us for the day. We are so thankful for the blessing that Raven is to us. Some people have honorary grandparents or an honorary aunt or uncle. We have an honorary daughter/sister in Raven.

We weren't sure we were going to get to do a hay ride so I borrowed a wagon to pull Morgan and traipsed out to the first maze, square hay bales. After doing this first maze, the kids all wanted to pile into the wagon.
We then got the word that we could have a hay ride, and we didn't have to share it with another group. Kaylyn immediately had to sit by David.
After the hay ride which included another maze (large hay bales) and picking out and cutting our pumpkins off the vine, we headed back to the front area where I convinced the girls to pose for a picture, but I couldn't force them to look at the camera and smile.
