A day at the Pumpkin Patch

Here we are - at the pumpkin patch....and here are the Pumpkin Patch Girls!

.

Isabel (Tiara's neighbors daughter), Amie and Carly (Tiara's good friend's daughter). Amie has played with Carly more then Isabel - but knows them both! Aren't they so cute together! Isabel and Carly are both a year younger then Amie!

We started with the bunny hutch!! Such cute bunnies!

And here's little Emma! She's the daughter of niece Ashley's best friend....Ashleigh!! :)

Of course our biggest kid - AKA Darwin is always good for a lending a hand! It was so cute to see them walking hand in hand!!

Then the girls chucked Darwin to the side & were all hand in hand - I love the pure innocence of youth!

Time to feed the goats!

Around the corner from the goats were the horses and cows. I completely missed a HUGE photo op!! As I came around the corner, this BIG rascal was just about to take a nibble of Amie's hair ribbons!! But she felt his breath & you see the look she gave him!! She wasn't sure she wanted to be that close again!

He was definitely a big boy!!

The legs seem a little safer!! But she's keeping an eye on him!!

Here are our Pumpkin Heads!!!

What is wrong with that duck's head?

And Darwin calls this the Phyllis Diller chicken!

"Amie want blue one"

Trying for a few photo ops.....not exactly what I wanted, but some cute ones!

"Smell the flowers" takes on a new wrinkle with that face Miss Amie!!

The boys finally got here - from left to right:

Amie, Reese, Isabel, Darrien & Carly!

More photo ops! Darrien makes such goofy smiles - you really have to work with him to get a more natural smile - this ones not bad!!

Running through the straw maze!

Stroller "Mommas" looking for pumpkins!

Ok - that ones interesting T!

"I found a good one!"

Purple wild flowers!

Searching........

It's a pumpkin and a Punkin'!!

I dearly LOVE this picture of Reese and Mason!! Such great smiles!!

But by the time we got Darrien added to the mix - Mason was pretty much done & Darrien is still doing his not so natural smile.... :(

Then we tried to get all 7 of them....but Ashley couldn't hear us from where she wondered off to...so 6 it is!

.

This first one has Isabel cut off, but I love the look that Amie and Mason are giving each other!

Here's a nice one!

And a goofy one or two or three!!

Ok - bout time to head back to the barn!

T found her new bestie!!

Darrien helping Aunt Ashley bring one of the pumpkins she's thinking about getting to the wheel barrel.....please note this IS the same pumpkin that has a little science lesson connected to it a few pictures from now.....

Pushing a wheel barrel takes a lot of work.......and help!! It would have been less work if there hadn't been so much help! ;) But it was a lot of fun for the 6 big kids...oh I mean 5 big kids!! :)

All of a sudden someone yells.....There's a "bug" coming out of that pumpkin!! And out of that little hole came....

A little white worm!! He fell to the earth & man did the kids LOVE watching him!! Needless to say....Aunt Ashley and Aunt T decided NOT to get this particular pumpkin!

Tractor Drivers!!

Girls!!

And what a perfect way to end the day.....a little baby snuggle time!!
