Pumpkin Patch 2012

We had a grand time at our traditional pumpkin patch run yesterday. We always meet up with one of GG's high school buddies and his family, which makes pumpkin day all the more special!  And every year we swear we're going to get together more... we hope that's true this year!  They're a great family!
It was a bright, sunny day, temps in the upper 60's.  Perfect! 
We started at the water pumps, where the kids race floating ducks.

Then we headed over to the corn bins, perfect for even the smallest of G's!
The boys began with a master plan to cover themselves with corn and surprise our friends when they arrived...
J just wanted to play!
MG found special "blue ones".
The outcome was pretty funny.  M stayed like this for several minutes, trying not to move.
Son and Daddy mastermind!
Here's the annual family pumpkin shot--fussy baby, squinty eyes, forbidden binky in mouth, and all!

Our friends' photo turned out much better!  Don't they look great?!
We finally made it to the field.
And chose our favorites...

And more.  Thankfully we were able to pare down the choices to 5 pumpkins--1 per kid!  T had a hard time leaving some behind--"Mom, they're all so cute."  

And when all was said and done, we were bushed!

Love it! J is getting so big!!! Well they all are...but he is the one I remember as a little one the most. We did a pumpkin patch this weekend too and I was beat just chasing after two kiddos. Don't know how you do it...but always enjoy reading all about it. :)
