Pumpkin Patch

This year we had so much fun at the "Punk Patch" as Owen likes to call it. We knew it would be a little harder this year with 2 babies instead of one.  However we were determined to make a good experience, no matter what! So we left the house right after naps and with an unlimited supply of apple juice and graham crackers on hand. Owen loved the long hayride out to the "punks" and Emma seemed to like it as well. We poked around the patch for about 20 minutes and had fun looking at all the different shapes and colors of pumpkins. Poor Owen felt the need to mourn every smashed pumpkin along the way... he would point and say "Punk is broken... how sad" And stick out his pouty lip. After we all picked out our perfect finds, we rode back to the farm and had fun petting and feeding all the cute farm animals. Then we headed inside for Chris and I's favorite part of the trip... the apple cider! It's sooo yummy. And it better be, for almost $9 a gallon! I am always begging him to save some for the rest of the family :) He is beyond addicted. We had a great time and we can't wait until next year when Em can run around the patch too!

PS- I promise it wont be 2 months until my next post... Our camera died and we are currently shopping for a new one! Check back next week for our carving adventure :)
