pumpkin patch 2009

last year we went to a pumpkin patch with dottie and we had fun but she was about 10 months old and didn't quite get all of the bells and whistles (hayrides, bbq, mazes, jumpy castles, and of course, the pumpkins!) of the typical pumpkin patch. this year was quite different. she was in heaven!
she pretty much wanted every pumpkin she saw and tried to pick them all up and put them in our wheel barrow,
repeated "pum-keen" over and over again,
was hard to pull off of the jumpy castle,
got silly in the maze,
wanted to ride in the wheel barrow with the pumpkins,
and thought the tractor that pulled the hayride was totally cool.

the only way were able to pull her away was to give her a little pumpkin that she could carry with her to the car and held it the whole way home. when we got home, she actually wanted to take it to bed with her!

a very fun trip to the pumpkin patch!
