The Pumpkin Patch



On Sunday we decided to take a last minute trip to the pumpkin patch. Tanner went to see a movie with his brother Eric, so Emily was really excited to go with us!! We all looked so cute. Bella picked out a scarecrow smocked outfit to wear, and her new shoes. Emily had on her cute new boots, and nice jeans. This was a really big mistake!! I was not thinking that it would be really muddy!! When we left we were all covered in mud!! Especially Bella!! She fell in a huge mud puddle running through the corn maze. Thank goodness, it was just before we left! This was the first pretty day we have seen in a while so the place was packed out!!
Here is a picture of the line to ride the tractor to the pumpkin patch.

We decided to go feed the animals, and walk around for a while hoping the line would shorten.
Here are some of the pictures. The corn maze was really confusing!! It took us 30 minutes to get out. Taylor finally figured out how to get out!!
The line didn't ever get any shorter, so we decided we could walk to the pumpkin patch quicker than wait in that line. MA was in her stroller, and Emily carried Bella. It was only about a 15 minute walk. It was cool to see all of the christmas trees that were almost ready to bring home.
We made it to the pumpkin patch!! YAY! It was a mud pit!! Bella was tripping over all of the vines, and getting so dirty!! We ended up picking out three perfect pumpkins. But now we realized we had a problem. How were we going to carry two little kids, three heavy pumpkins and a stroller back?! All I have to say is that I am still sore!! We put one pumpkin underneath the stroller, and the two other ones in the main part of the stroller. I carried MA and pushed the stroller for quite some time. The stroller was so heavy!! Then Emily and I switched! That was an arm work out!! It was really funny, but we made it back to the car! Thanks Emily for going with us!! We could not have done it with out you!! I am so glad my sisters do so much to help me out!!
