Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday, October 28th, we made our annual trip to...
where we snapped a quick family picture...
just like last year.
Then, one of Emily...
that took me back to last year...
and the year before that.
Everett 2012

 



Emily and Everett 2012
 Emily and Everett 2011

Once we had those pictures behind us, it was time for some face painting.  Everett was up first for his very first face painting experience.
(passers by couldn't believe how still he was sitting)
In the end, he was one CUTE puppy!
This year Emily chose to be a mermaid.
And as she checked herself out in the mirror...
I was reminded of last year's witch...
and 2010's pretty kitty.
 We left the paint and headed for the bounce house where Everett just watched Emily... and me.
It wouldn't have been a proper visit if we didn't check out how the kids measured up this year...
compared to 2011...
 
(imagine a picture of Emily alone 2012)
and even 2010
Nearby, Emily was happy to find a little pony to ride...
and Everett appeared to be a bit shocked.
But, soon enough he was telling us what a horsey says...
(Everett doesn't neigh but "snorts" as he spits.) 
and seemed ready...
to ride a real one!
Yee Haw!!

And while Everett walked slowly, Emily mounted a different horse...
and went for a trot.

Trotting is much faster, so she and Daddy were able to watch Everett on his last lap,
I was able to snap a picture of the three of them,
and Daddy got a couple of me with Everett.
 


(imagine adorable picture of the two kids that I just deleted, boo)

To finish our day, Emily picked out a few pumpkins...

and loaded them in the wheelbarrow with Daddy.
*loaded all pics at home before leaving home but will need to crop this year's measuring ones and insert a couple that are missing upon our return

Looks like a very fun outing. Everett may have been alarmed at the growth coming out of the little pony's neck! That is quite a haul of pumpkins! Can't wait to see them all carved beautifully into princesses again this year :)
Big Hugs!!

You have such a fun pumpkin patch! I can't get over the horses, face painting, etc... and I also couldn't get over that you just had your THIRD trip there! I can't believe you've been in CA that long!! Have you?!
