We have been to the pumpkin patch twice this month, once with my Mommy & Me group and two days later with my sister, friend Colleen, her son, sister and niece.
The first visit was to Bates Nut Farm (the same place we went last year) and it was so hot that none of the toddlers were really up for picking or posing with pumpkins. Who could blame them? 102?! In October!
Lucas did get to ride his first pony, although he wasn’t that in to it. I’m blaming the heat.These were the only two decent photos out of 70 (!) that we got:
Two days later, it rained and was even chilly. Mother Nature, I’m not sure what you’re up to, but the cooler weather made for much happier photos, that’s for sure.
This time we went to the petting zoo first….
and then Lucas came face-to-face with his first scarecrow.
It’s hard enough to get one toddler to pose and smile for the camera and downright impossible to capture two. What you don’t see in this photo are four grown women jumping and dancing all around and making funny noises behind the lens.
Nothing worked, but it was a fun Fall outing anyway. Both trips.

That little monkey sure is tough to photograph but when we do finally get a good one, they are soooooo good! I had fun with you guys at the pumpkin patch last Friday. It's certainly become our tradition, huh? : )

Lovely photos. I especially like the one of you carrying Lucas! He's so cute!!! He looks just like you 🙂

Big smiles for mommy and boy this time!
What did he think of the petting zoo?
Shana says
I would not have even went in that heat! I love the pictures too.

We ended up going the day it rained. The weather was so crazy that week.
Your pictures are great! I never would have guessed that so many of them didn't turn out.
Looks like you had a fun day.

How'd I miss this post? Looks like lots of fun. We took Tater and my nephew to the pumpkin patch last year and have a similar pic of the boys since we couldn't get them both to sit still for 2 seconds!
