Annual trip...

to the Pumpkin Patch!!!
Since Ryan was 1, we've gone to Bishop's Pumpkin Patch every year with my family as part of his birthday celebration! Since Nat and Trev were in town last weekend, it was the perfect time to go!!! After the baby shower we loaded up and headed out for some fun!!!
Soooo excited to be with Uncle T! First things first! We waved goodbye to these guys...
...boarded the train... ...and headed through the pumpkin tunnel to check out the farm from the tracks! Next up was watching the pig races, which turned out to be a bit more enjoyable then we originally thought! The lady running the races was looking for a volunteer. She managed to look past every adorable little kid quietly flailing their arms about wanting to be picked, and selected Steve to come be her helper! After hooking him up with the proper garb...
...he was off to be the racing judge. His job was to determine the winner of each race typically designated by the color! What's funny, he's slightly color blind! He let us know who won by carefully watching for the number. We all got a kick out of it!!!
Austin then found his way to the rocking horses... ...and Papa had to show him how to ride like a true cowboy!!! Ryan's destination was the wooden train...
...and the excavator!!!
After checking out the scarecrows... ...which scared Ryan, we loaded the hayride to search for the perfect pumpkin! What mischief is this little rat creating!?!
I didn't get any pictures of the boys searching for their pumpkins since we were racing against the sunset, but they sure picked some good ones!
We had a great time at the pumpkin patch!!! We certainly had fun with everyone, but missed Aubrey since she was the only one not with us!
