Pumpkin Patch

I surprised Kaylee and took her to Jumbo's Pumpkin Patch in Middletown on Sunday. Larry had to work, so I took both the girls out into the country to enjoy a nice evening together. The drive there was peaceful and so beautiful.

Once we got to the farm, Kaylee was completely shocked that I took her there. We have been talking about going as a family, but Larry has been working a lot of overtime and has been either working or sleeping when we had the opportunity to go. We wanted to go on Saturday, but ended up getting rained out. I really wanted to take Kaylee to a pumpkin patch and have those memories for her to hold on to. The only other time we have ever gone to a pumpkin patch was for her kindergarten field trip. That is a sad thing to admit to, and I didn't want her to miss out on the experience any longer.

I took a bunch of pictures and they both had a blast. Kennedy got cranky on the ride back to the farm from the pumpkin patch, but calmed down once she got her bottle. Over all, it was a fun-filled evening and I am so glad I made the decision to take them. Kaylee begged me to go in the corn maze, but they told me that it was not stroller friendly...and I was not going to attempt to carry Kennedy through a maze that I could get lost in. Maybe Larry and I can get a sitter one night for Kennedy and find a local corn maze to go to.

I would be more than happy to watch the little precious angel while you take the big one to the corn maze. As long as you promise to hold Larry's hand so he doesn't get lost. LOL. The pictures are soooo cute. I cant' believe how big she has gotten

Jill I will definitely take you up on that offer. We will figure out a night that you are free and go from there! Thanks!! I have never been in a corn maze....so I am sure we will be lost for hours.

Corn mazes are great. I miss taking the boys but Zach is a bit too old now, plus I might be tempted to leave him there. Teens are wonderful creatures. Larry can check my schedule easy enough.
