Picking the Perfect Pumpkin

We had our annual trip to the Suburban Pumpkin Patch a few weekends ago.  The weather was cooperative and this time Brian, Lauren and Savannah joined us to look for pumpkins.  Emma, Sam, Ella and Aiden are old pros at the trip.  They went straight to the popcorn for a snack and then to the face painting station.  Ella got a pumpkin this year and Sam went for a KC monogram for the Royals.  
After everyone was painted it was time to head out to the pumpkin patch.  We loaded up in the firetruck and away we went.  The kids paused for a few pictures on the hay bales then headed out to pick their pumpkins.  My kids are getting quicker at this process.  They already have in mind the shape of pumpkin they want and are able to choose quickly.  We enjoyed holding Savannah and watching her get her picture taken with all the pumpkins while everyone else looked for just the right pumpkin.  Then it was time to head back to the store.  Ella and Aiden played on the equipment while others were mum shopping and Emma and Sam just hung out inside.  
We switched the order of the pumpkin patch and lunch this year so Savannah could have her nap.  So while they headed home for her nap time the rest of us headed to Winstead's for lunch.  It was yummy and fun as always.  Another successful trip is in the books!

Look at all this cuteness! 

Three out of five sort of looking at me isn't too bad??

We loved the puppy hay bale this year!
