Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we headed up to Emma Krumbees in Belle Plaine for our first experience at a pumpkin patch. I don't know that I have every actually gone out into a patch and picked a pumpkin (besides our own garden) so I was really looking forward to it. Maddox was having a blast running around, looking at everything and chasing the "big" kids all around him.

When you walk into the place there is a giant hill of hay. Now I am actually allergic to that stuff (darn you allergies!) but do you think it stopped m me from snapping photos- Nope sure didn't! Maddox thought he was king of the hill and loved rolling, diving, jumping, face planting, and anything else he could do. He was in hog heaven!

We even took a quick ride around in the cute little train they had. Maddox was enjoying it and actually sat still which in itself is amazing!

And finally we were off on the great pumpkin hunt. There were so many to choose from but Maddox found one he fell in love with. He looked at it from every angle and even tried picking it up.

Happy Fall Ya'll!!

I think we all had a great time and the weather was great- hot even. Maybe too hot for some of us! I know I say this all the time but Maddox is getting so big and SO independent. He really amazes me everyday with the things that he learns and the fact that he has no fear.
