Annual Pumpkin Patch Trip

This weekend was our annual trip to the pumpkin patch.  We've been coming to the same pumpkin patch since Karsten was 5 months old. It's a nice little pumpkin patch that isn't usually too crowded and has just enough activities for Karsten (and soon Liam).

Plus, I love all of these photo opps that they set up.  Now if they could just get Karsten to smile at me, I would be thrilled!



Since we would be going on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch, we couldn't take the stroller.  Liam weighs 25 lbs and gets squirmy when you carry him for a long time, so we put him in the Baby Bjorn.


Karsten enjoyed the hay maze.


Chasing each other in the hay maze.


King of the hay maze!


Peek a boo!


They have these wood horses and cow models and lassos for the kids to practice roping.


Checking out the min horses.


Another photo opp.  I love how they decorate this truck every year.  Check out our past pictures with the truck - 2010 and 2011.


So many pumpkins to choose from.


Searching for the perfect pumpkin.


Found it!  This is our pumpkin - now if he can just pick it up.


Nope, it's heavy!


Check out Liam's fantastic outfit.  We were wonderful parents and forgot to change his diaper before we got to the pumpkin patch, so he leaked out of his diaper and onto his jeans.  Since we couldn't put wet jeans on him, we were left with a pair of Karsten's shorts that were in the diaper bag. I was worried his little legs were cold.


Who dresses their baby in shorts to go to the pumpkin patch - yep, that's us.


But I think he still had a good time despite the wardrobe malfunction.
