Pumpkin Patch time

Saturday was interesting...we woke up to Matt being covered head to toe in a rash of bumps. John took him to the doctor, I was at work, and they said that it was his body fighting the massive cold that he has had. They of course gave him nothing and he of course looks like he was eaten alive by flea's! Sunday morning John went hunting down on the river. I picked him up at the Grand Island park and we both realized that we had not taken the kids to the pumpkin patch yet!!! oh my what a catastrophe!! So I headed home with the kids to get them dressed for the patch (Ally was in her Pj's and Matt just a onsie) and John followed with his boat. We all made pit stops and went back to the patch. What fun! This year they had mull driven hay rides, a pumpkin cannon, and horse rides. We walked all over the patch looking for the perfect pumpkin. Ally picked out a petite one for her, John of course wanted something different, Matt's was really interesting...not sure if it is a gourd or what, and mine was the biggest! Ally got to ride a horse and go down a huge slide. The pumpkin canon was shooting a lot too. It was a pretty good day.

Take a look at the "pumpkins" in his shirt. Such the gentleman...caring all of the pumpkins so we don't have to worry about getting dirty.
So now you can see I am not the only one who takes pictures... definitely a decent shot, can't see anything in the middle of me...good work Hun!

I absolutely LOVED this gourd, but John didn't want to carry it so I took a picture of the kids with it.
Mommy's pretty little lady!
