Pumpkin Patch

Phil was able to come home last weekend, so we took advantage of the extra family time and beautiful weather and made a visit to our local pumpkin patch. We took a gazillion pictures, as usual, but with our little digital camera this time, since right before we left I dropped our expensive SLR camera on the laundry room (tiled) floor. I was absolutely sick about it. Everything still works on it except for the auto-focus on the lens. We have to manually focus all of the pictures now, which is not good for me since I wasn't taking great pictures even with the auto-focus! Oh, well.

It was pretty neat to see Jackson pick out his own pumpkin this year. Although he tried several times to pick up ones that were almost as big as he is. He eventually settled on a good-sized one, and even picked one out for Emmett, as well.


I tried so hard to get cute pictures of the boys together with some pumpkins. You should see the progression of the close to 20 pictures we took in this spot. Jackson is in a different position in every. single. picture. He was so excited. These were the best of the bunch.

And this kiss was not solicited... J is so loving to his bro. As soon as we set E up there, J was ready with a big kiss (and a pet in the next picture).


The place we went to is pretty fun - there's a corn maze for older kids and adults, and then a smaller maze made out of bales of hay for the little ones. Jackson had a ball running around through the hay and all over the place. He also loved sticking his head in these picture holes.


Even the dads had a good time!


Here's our cute little chunky pumpkin. He was amazingly good this whole evening. He had woken up from his last nap around 2:30, so I thought he would be a tired mess at the pumpkin patch. He must have wanted to prove me wrong, because he was happy the whole time at the patch (except for a few minutes when he was trying to remind me that it was time to eat) and even let us go out to dinner with friends afterwards! What a guy!

P.S. He has now been sleeping 7 P.M. - 7 A.M. for a whole week (knock on wood)! Hooray!!!
