Pumpkin Patch 2012

 We took a family trip to a pumpkin patch. Both big girls had been with school, but Whitney hadn't been and we have been most years in the past to some kind of pumpkin patch, so we had to go, right?

 We started in a corn maze!

 Love this pic of the girls!

 They had a big box with corn in it instead of sand, which was a big big hit!

 Love this smile on her face more than life itself!

 Lindsey did good enjoying it and letting the little ones enjoy it longer than she wanted to!  She's such a great big sister!

 Whitney enjoyed this...

 Throwing the corn out of the box!

 Ryan came along, just because I made him, but it was a family trip, so he had to be included!

Kyle, Miah and Landon went too!  So fun to do this kind of thing with family!  Miah and I decided it was a new tradition!

 We watched some pig races...

Then got in line to ride some ponies...

 Whit rode by herself (with me walking beside her)

 We were all SHOCKED Landon got on!  He didn't last the whole ride, but he did great!

 Courtney picked the biggest one!

 Notice anything...Lindsey picked the right one for her...the most stubborn one! ha!

 Then we fed some goats.  Whit thought this was hilarious!

 Lindsey loves anything "zebra" right now.  This was a zonkey.  A cross between a zebra and donkey so she had to have her picture made with it.  You can't see the stripes super well unless you look at it's legs.

 Then we were back at the corn box!

This is the best cousin picture we got from the whole day!

 Lindsey was finished in the corn box, but was sweet to wait while the others played.  She hung out in whitney's stroller (but look at her face when I took a pic of her--shes 8 going on 12). Ha!

 We walked over to the actual pumpkin patch before we left.  There weren't too many left since it was the weekend before Halloween. But it was fun to see all the different shapes, sizes and colors!

 Landon spotted something and took off running!

 One last try at a cousin pic as we left, but sun was bright, all were tired and it didn't really happen....

 Love this pic...no kids, just a couple of pumpkins.  He pulled the stroller backwards to the car.

But it was a good try.  We had a blast seeing the kids get excited.  I'm so thankful for times like this that we get to spend with family!  I hope there are many more years and memories made during this fun time of year!
