Non-Pumpkin Patch trip

Published by at 10:07 pm under family

My friend Amber called this morning and asked if Ally, Nicholas and I wanted to go with her and Annabel to the pumpkin patch down the road while Bryan and Frank go to their martial arts class. We got there about 11am and it was SO windy and cold that we soon changed our minds about taking the girls on the hay-ride back to the field. We opted for going into the barn to get a cup of spiced cider and to try and get some cute pictures of Ally and Annabel against the hay-stacks and pre-picked pumpkins. And here is a sampling of what we got. . . . as you can see they were NOT in the mood to cooperate and look at the camera.

We then decided to go over and check out the straw maze, the calves (who were cute but boring since they were sleeping) and the blow-up bouncy castle. Nicholas took Ally through the straw maze and surprisingly, she LOVED it! As soon as she came out, she ran around to the entrance and crawled back in. After a couple trips through, she didn’t even need Nicholas’ help and went through a few more times by herself. Annabel even got curious so Nicholas took her through. She emerged with a huge smile on her face too!

Ally was dying to go in the blow-up bouncy castle. We timed it well and no other kids were in there so Ally had a good chance of being able to stay on her feet. Annabel got jealous so we sent Nicholas in with them to hold their hands etc. He did a great job and they had a ball in there. (apparently sticking your tongue out helps you jump, right?)

Here is my favorite picture of the day.

Oh yea. . . They didn’t have great pre-picked pumpkins for sale and we were too cold to go back and get any for ourselves.
We left and didn’t actually purchase any pumpkins! LOL!

    Adorable pictures! I love the last one too. We aren’t going to get to the pumpkin patch until the 30th or 31st when Mike is back home and our stuff has already been loaded on the van for TX. We’ll be staying with family for a few days and are going to go then. 🙂

    Oh these are sooo cute! Too bad about the pumpkins, but looks like you all had a great time. That last picture is great! And, I adore Ally’s hat! She was all decked out for a fall outing 🙂 Cute scarf, too! 😀
