Pumpkin Patch

Last week, we took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. One of the local churches has a huge pumpkin patch on their front lawn and they encourage families to come and enjoy taking pictures with all of the pumpkins. We went last year and decided to go again this year.

My sister Emily and her girls were in town visiting so we dressed them all up in their cute matching outfits and headed out. Unfortunately the weather was very hot and humid, but there was not another day that we would all be together so we put on lots of deodorant and hoped for the best.

Parker and Addison both enjoyed the pumpkins more than they did last year, but they are both in a stage where they do not want their pictures taken. We tried to bribe them with marshmallows but were only able to get a few good ones. Neither Emily or I were able to get a good picture of both of our kids together and we were fairly successful at getting a good picture of all 4 kids. Towards the end, we were all hot and cranky, but overall, I thought it was a pretty good outing.

Eden was as sweet as ever. She sat quietly while we snapped and snapped pictures and never got fussy until the very end.

Parker enjoyed running around and pulling the wagon, just like last year. Some things never change. This is about the only really good picture I got of him.Picking out a pumpkin

This is the best picture I got of Parker and Eden together.

Can you tell which two are our spirited, high maintenance children and which two are our easy going, laid back children?!?!?!?!? (Look at Eden's face...I think she is thinking, "Would you two crybabies just get over it!")
