Pumpkins & Chickens & Toothless Grins. Oh My!

by

Since the kids were out of school on Monday for Fall break we made two trips to the “pumpkin patch” (a.k.a. local Methodist church that sells pumpkins for mission fundraisers) on Monday.

Or I guess you could say one interrupted trip – with a visit to Target in between.

This is what happens when you forget the SD card in your laptop at home and Target is a MUCH closer trip than your house.

🙂

It was touch-and-go there for a bit when I realized the card was not in there as I went to take a picture of my boys on the tractor/hay ride that just circles the open field by the church.  When I told G that we had to get back in the car just to run a quick errand he lost his sh… I mean, was not happy, and it took some convincing and promises of treats later to get him in the car.  Which I can’t remember now if I ever made good on that promise.

Anyway, here’s some pics that I took with my new, WAY on sale (Bonus!) SD card. It was HOT while we were there, probably around 80 degrees, and the sun was relentless. Of course a cool front got here today.  OF COURSE.

The kids liked the farm animals and I liked the shade their shelter provided. 🙂 

Little G was all about the “turkeys” that I tried to convince him were chickens.  Because well, they were.

And The B Man LOVED petting the bunny! 

This is what you get when your 7 year-old takes a pic for ya and the toddler does NOT 
want to sit on your lap.  Just FYI. 
Thanks to these loves for putting up with my SD card forgetting self…   They’re awesome like that. 

Happy Fall Y’all!

  2. It was worth the trip to Target, great pictures! I love the fall colours on the kids and in the scenery.

    And 80 degrees! Whew, I might even be looking for cooler weather…nah, probably not!

  3. Those are some AWESOME shots. That first one (and the last one too) just get me.
    Sorry about forgetting the card. I hate it when that happens.

  5. i think pumpkin patch pictures are my favorite of the year. our local pumpkin patch is a sorry excuse, but we still manage to have fun. you make some cute cute kids, gal 🙂

  8. Such great photos! I just love everyone’s fall photos and “pumpkin shopping” pics! And it’s been strangely warm this year, we decided to wait to get our pumpkins until right before Halloween!

  20. I’m sure glad you bought a ‘way on sale’ sd card. Otherwise we would have missed the awesome pictures! There’s something about the colors in all your photos – they’re a little muted to me which makes them extra beautiful. I loved feeling like I went with you to the pumpkin patch and I really loved Little G’s ‘turkeys’. What a great post!
