Pumpkin Patch!

Today we braved the wind and heat and took the crew to the pumpkin patch. They had so much fun!

 

Jack posing in some dried pumpkin vines.

 

Jason found himself a winning pumpkin right here.

Jack tried to one up his brother with two pumpkins!

He settled on this one.
He loved it so much, he had to kiss it! lol

Jason settled on this beauty.

Shawn found his pumpkin right away.

It was big and heavy!

Jason and Jack climbed into a wheelbarrow.

 

They loved it!

 

Of course that meant I had to take them around for a spin.

 

That's me waaaaaay out there! I found myself a pumpkin, too!

Hay!

Playing in the corn husks.

Jack and Isaac

We went to the hay stack. Jack immediately took off.
Shawn thought pulling out hay was more fun.

 

Look there! He made it to the top!

 

He didn't think the view was as great as everyone said, though.

 

Me and all my boys

Daddy's turn with his boys

A sweet moment between daddy and Shawn.

Shawn and daddy climbed the hay stack, too!

 

Taking a break in the hay maze.

 

It was a great day all around!
