Pumpkin Patch

While we were visiting family we went to the Pumpkin Patch in Hayden, AL. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts Celeste, Elaine, and Denise, Mommy, Joshua, and Noah all went and had a great time. Joshua enjoyed the hayride, particularly the tractor pulling the wagon. I remember looking around and being surprised at how many pumpkins were cracked or split apart. I was thinking that this must not be a good crop since there were so many "weak" pumpkins. Then I saw Joshua pick up a pumpkin, take two steps, realize it was too heavy, and then drop it. Fortunately it did not break, but that mental image explained all the broken ones.
There was still a huge selection of pumpkins and Joshua enjoyed counting them. He would walk by touching each pumpkin and count them saying "One, two, three, four, five, that one, seven, eight..." It was cute that the higher he went, the more "that ones" there were as well as the occasional slide back to three. Like last year, I think Joshua's absolute favorite part of the pumpkin patch was playing with the hay. He threw it all over the place. I probably took 80 pictures of him throwing hay because he was having so much fun. Noah pretty much just hung out. He was not particularly impressed with the trip and didn't like how dusty it was. He kept sneezing. Hang in there Noah, it'll be more fun next year! We were able to get Joshua to sit still for a couple brother pics. It was another great day. Thanks to all the adult supervision for helping me keep up with my boys!

Lastly I have to include a picture of Joshua hanging out with Miss Sarah Katherine on the princess couch. It was great to see the Coram family!
