Weekly Winners: the Pumpkin Farm

This past Monday, Sophie and I got the chance to go to a local fruit farm with some of our other mommy & kiddo friends. We looked at animals, pet some Shetland ponies, had a hayride, picked a pumpkin, and went down a giant slide! It was a great time. Joshua had to miss it because he was at school, and he is green with envy looking at the pictures! I hope you enjoy them slightly more. 🙂

They had a wooden play set that was in the shape of a train. Here’s Sophie driving the train!

Cortney’s little guy Evan and his cousin Kaiden gave each other some high-fives on the hayride:

gimme FIVE!

On our hayride out to the pumpkin patch, we saw a rainbow in the sky! How cool is that? God is cool!

I caught this little face on the hayride, too! He was so precious.

Once we got out to the pumpkin patch, all Sophie wanted to do was RUN!

I finally managed to force her to pick a couple of pumpkins, and then we got back on the hay wagon for the ride back. We saw some great farm scenery like this beautiful old silo:

After the hay ride, Sophie and her pals Jack and Koen went straight for the big slide in the hay:

She and the boys slid down it again and again and again!

Weekly Winners: Tom’s Corn Maze

As Emily wrote, we had a phenomenal time last week at Tom’s Maze at the Lose for Good par-tay. Here are some pics I took while we were in the maze!

A very fuzzy caterpillar. I wonder if he was Very Hungry?

Also? There was A LOT of corn there!

(I bet this one got made fun of a lot amongst his fellow ears. So sad. Corn can be so CRUEL!)

There were some cute kids, there too!

Weekly Winners – All Sophie Edition

If you’re Sophie, one of the side effects of your big brother going to kindergarten is that Mommy now has only YOU to focus her camera on all day. So, i took a lot of fun shots of Sophie this week that I wanted to share. I love my beautiful sweetheart girl!
