We're going to the Pumpkin Patch


This morning we went to Dallas, NC to Maple Springs Farms Pumpkin Patch. Our MOMS club was going for a family event. It was very overcast and raining a little bit this morning, so a lot of people decided to stay home. Luckily the rain had cleared out by the time we got there, so we had a nice overcast day. It was still pretty muggy out, so we were sweating like crazy, as you'll see in our pictures, but the kids didn't let it slow them down, they had so much fun on the slides, hayride, playground, and of course, picking out their pumpkins! ;) This was also our first "real" outing with Emma in her underwear. She did great! She still hasn't gone on a regular toilet yet, so I put her little potty chair in the back of the car. When we got there, we put her on it so she could go potty (yes, I was THAT mom with my kid sitting on a potty in the back of our car in the parking lot). She went, and then was able to enjoy the rest of our time there accident free! Go Emma! :) I'm so excited, sad, I know. It's the little things, people.... ;)

Our first slide of the day, the girls were so excited to be there!

A couple quick shots with the kids while waiting for the others to get there.



Emma was ready to go to the "Punkin Patch!"

You can see the sweat on Andrew's hair here

Ahh...the bromance ;) haha
Scott and Marc

Look how hot and tired Mary Mac looks here!

"Eww...it's dirty!"
Duh, Mary Mac, we are getting them off the ground, what do you expect? :)

Emma wasn't so sure about the "dirty" pumpkins either!

It's much better if Mommy just carries them for me

We found a little "clean" one for her!

Andrew, very proud of his pumpkin pick


Doh...Emma! Guess I wasn't quick enough!


This was a fun swing ride, it spun around in circles, only problem is, the parents had to push, I got dizzy after a few go-rounds!

Emma loved it!



Emma and Campbell on the swings

So cute!

Round and round she goes

Mackenzie and Mary Mac for one last slide.

Dang...oh well, guess we'll take all of them back home...
