Pumpkin Picking

Worried that all the pumpkins would be gone, Julietta rushed to the patch just a week before Halloween.

First stop - "How Tall This Fall" to see the yearly progress.
Liliana was this tall.

Ella was this tall.

Jack was that tall.

And, Julietta was this tall. {grin}

Julietta checked out the chickens while the big kids ran around.

Then we got ready for the hayride out to the pumpkin patch.

Once Julietta found the perfect spot we were off.

Luckily not all the pumpkins were picked.

Daddy and his girl on the hunt.

This place is awesome!

It's hard to get candid photos of the big kids these days because they like to run far away and I have to keep an eye on Julietta. So, the photos are either posed or of Julietta. *sigh.

Going home with the perfect pumpkin.

I caught the girls whispering and giggling with each other on our ride back to the farm.

Later when I asked them what was so funny they said "the man {giggle, giggle, snort}, the man next to Liliana {ha, ha, giggle, giggle}, he tooted. We both heard him and Liliana said "oohhhh!" and scooted closer to me {hee, hee, giggle} and then he did it again!" {crack up ensues}

Post toot.

Julietta grew as fast a pumpkin! Click HERE to see a year ago.

And our gem of an annual pumpkin patch photo. Doesn't Julietta look sweet? {grin}
