The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we met Grandpa Randy, Grandma Terri and Aunt Ashli at the pumpkin patch. McKenzie was SO excited to go! She LOVES pumpkins and everything Halloween, so I think its absolutely fitting she's an October baby. (I can see the fun Halloween parties now!)

While we were getting ready to go, she told me she needed a special hair do. I asked her what she wanted and she said "Halloween Cinderella". Umm... okay? I did my best, and here's what I came up with. Not too bad (considering she wouldnt stop wiggling), if I do say so myself!

After her hair was done, she wanted her picture taken. I think I have about 100 of these little snapshots. Here's a few of my favorites:



I also bundled up Alli for her first ride in the baby backpack (which she actually loved! Big changes for us - McKenzie would not have put up with that as a baby!) Here's our other little punkin:

As soon as we got to the pumpkin patch, McKenzie ran to the far end of the field. She had a hay-day checking out all of the pumpkins and keeping daddy on his toes watching her. The seven of us all found really nice pumpkins ($20 for the whole sha-bang) and had a great time. Check it out, it's on the corner of Vine and Coleman in Tooele.

Cinderella did ride a pumpkin to the ball, afterall!

I also ran into my bloggy buddy, Leann, and her adorable family at the pumpkin patch. What a small world!
