Pumpkin Patch '09

Spencer had his first ride on a school bus last week when his class went to the Country Mercantile. Jason, Sophie, and I met his class out there. As soon as he got off the bus and saw us he said, "The school bus ride was awesome!"

We followed his class around and I loved having Rachael's zoom lens. In two hours, I managed to take 240 pictures! You'll notice Sophie's wardrobe change, it was our first outing without a diaper and she had an accident in the middle of the pumpkin patch! Poor girl. After his field trip was over, we signed him out so he could stay with us as we explored the rest of the Mercantile. Here's the photo overload-


They had to make sure their pumpkins fit in their backpacks!


She was so excited to have her very own 'yeetle' (little) pumpkin.


After his class left we headed to the Corn Maze.






Next we hit the Strawbale Pyramid.





Before we headed inside to pick out some treats we played around with some of the huge pumpkins they had laying by the wagon. They had fun climbing on and around the pumpkins.



They also had fun trying to pick up the huge ones.







They finally found some they could pick up!








After we got home that afternoon, we went outside and played in Grandma Goude's yard. We brought out the three pumpkins and put them in the grass for Carson to play with. He ended up having to fight Franklin (the cat) for them.
