Those pumpkins in the background totally look cloned, but they're not. There were a gazillion little tiny kid sized pumpkins at this pumpkin farm. I think they're specifically for all the field trip kids. Annaliese was not really into looking at the pumpkins, but more into checking out the farm in general. She was interested long enough for me to get a photo that looks like she's interested. She really couldn't care less about picking one out. She basically walked a few feet picked up a pumpkin, then put it down, to walk a few more feet and pick up a different pumpkin.. only to repeat the process about 10 more times. The she realized, "Who cares! Let's get shaved ice."
Not really making any kind of decision.
And this one cared even less than the other one.
This would be the highlight for me, and I'm dragging the kids back again next week, just so I can get me another shaved ice.
They could have hung out with the goats all day. You can pay money to feed the sheep OR when you run out of quarters you can do as Annaliese and pick up all the spilled food under the "goat feed" machines and at the base of the fences and feed them with that. Liked the goats, the sheep were too pushy.
Never let the happy pictures fool you. This is generally how our family activities go. Annaliese set this one up. She forced Maddie to be a member of the Sunny Bunch and Maddie felt this was beneath her.
None of us had ever done a corn maze before so we thought we'd give it a whirl. My friend has done these and you can spend hours in there.....
We let Annaliese lead...
...and somehow made it out in 9 minutes. (I'm not questioning her methods.)
Annaliese is team Jacob. Who knew? I would have said Edward all the way.
And this.... This is the great shot of the girls Jonathan gets to load into his iphone....
And this is the lovely shot of me and the girls I get to complain about on the internet.
Am I the only one that plans out the outfits in my head before we go on a family outing where photos will be taken? The thought process for this trip was, "The pumpkins are orange, I need a color to pop them out...hmm..blue. But then I need a color to pop against a dark background color if they're by a barn...pink skirts? And what can I wear to blend with them in case I get a cute shot with them that I'll want to frame." (hahaha fat chance of that. Always dreaming.)

You're so funny :)
What the heck? Have I been away so long that I am shocked you have shaved ice at a pumpkin patch? We wore jackets and gloves to ours.
I'll post my pumpkin patch story and brag about how much better it is up here in the Pacific Northwest...where Edward, Bella and Jacob live. I'm going to their Halloween party.
Love the pictures! The pumpkins do look cloned, but at least they're orange! Ours are GREEN this year! :) Love the outfits too! Looks like you guys had a blast.
Thanks guys! Lindy you're hilarious! Find Jonathan a job and I can move out there by you and Laura and go to the Cullen's Halloween party with you! I was Alice for Halloween this year, I know she'd be flattered. I'll tell her about it if I can make it to the Christmas party. Work on finding that job. And the shaved ice was awesome! It was a pretty warm day (which is not always a good thing)!
