The Pumpkin Patch

Taking advantage of the amazing weather, and knowing it usually snows/freezes by the 1st or 2nd weekend in October, we headed as a family out to the pumpkin patch. This is one of my favorite activities, so although Benjamin was just a few weeks old, we all went together. We had a really good time riding the tractor, picking our pumpkins, snacking on juice and cookies, and checking out the farm animals. Eleanor was especially excited about the goat who had gotten out of his pen and was running amok.

I love some of the pictures we have of Ella when she was just 5 months old and we headed out to the same spot... unfortunately we had sun in our eyes the whole time and she wasn't quite in the mood for pictures. Oh well!
