pumpkin patch : 2012

You can check out last year HERE!

We took our yearly road trip to the pumpkin patch during Fall Break. It was really important to me to do this again this year. If nothing else I needed those “How tall this fall?” pictures. I needed some tradition to restore the balance of our new family dynamics. I knew there would be a lot of activities I would be editing out this month for my own peace of mind but this one had to stay. So my mom and I loaded up and drove the kids to the patch on the windiest day of the year (ok so that’s a tad bit of an exaggeration but still). My mom hung out in the car with Sawyer while I took the big kids for some good old-fashioned fun.

First stop: pictures with pumpkins.

We headed back to the car after we had our pumpkins. I got Sawyer out for a few quick pics before we blew away….

We had a fun day and I’m so blessed to have the time to take my kids out for our traditional pumpkin picking, maze racing, hayriding day!
