The Pumpkin Patch - 2013

Hands down, one of my favorite traditions every year is going to the pumpkin patch.  I was so excited this year that we actually planned our trip super close to the beginning of October.  Now that Cooper doesn't have his morning nap, we have a lot more time to fit things like this into our schedule.  Plus, it helped us keep him occupied during that time where he usually gets a little fussy since he's still adjusting to not sleeping during that time.  The pumpkin patch that we go to is hosted by the church where LL goes to school.  She was extra excited because she had been seeing the pumpkins on the way to drop-off every day!  Last year, Cooper was still too little to have any idea what was going on, so I was really excited to see what he thought about the whole thing.

She did SO GREAT about taking pictures this day!  

He had to take a minute to try and figure everything else.

Cooper was waaaay too busy to sit down and take a picture for me, but this beautiful girl was more than happy to do it!

Stud, right?

They had a wagon we could use and Coop was more than happy to ride around in it for a little while.

I am so in love with these kids!

She is so tall!

She was super focused on finding the perfect pumpkin(s!!) for us.

While we paid and loaded up the pumpkins, they both played so sweetly together at this bean-bag toss.

We had such a great time, and we actually ended up leaving with 9 (!!!) pumpkins.  Luckily, LL is in love with the smallest ones she can find, so those are cheap.  :)  Here's a comparison from our visits to the pumpkin patch in years past.
