Pumpkin Patch 2010

We pretended that it was fall here the weekend before last and made the annual pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch. Emma asked if they (she and Josh) would be wearing their Halloween shirts to which I answered with an emphatic "No" since they are long sleeve and they would have roasted. Instead, we headed out in our "summer" gear to pick out some pumpkins. New this year was a train that was made from barrels that were connected and painted to look like cows. The engine of the train was a tractor; what else could it have been? Emma was such a big girl and went on the train ride all by herself. She told me that she raised her arms in the air and screamed because it was so much fun. Josh and I also took a ride before heading home. Josh wasn't quite sure what to make of it but didn't hate it. Emma and Josh also spent some time climbing on the hay bales and Emma did quite a bit of sliding. We missed out on the pig races this year but had a good time anyhow. Please note, we also did take a little time to pick out some pumpkins. On the way home, we made a Sonic run to refresh since we were all a little warm. Emma had her first slush and l-o-v-e-d it! She was a good sister and shared a bit with Josh. No surprise, he also loved it! It was another successful year at the pumpkin patch but you know, we still haven't been able to break out the Halloween shirts. Fingers crossed but maybe we can wear them once this year!
