Pumpkins!

Today we ventured out on our annual pumpkin patch visit! It seems impossible that Maddie's old enough to have gone there twice, and that this time it was her taking us around the farm.


She was feeling a bit under the weather and so she's not quite as smiley as she was last year, but she still had a fun time investigating all of the pumpkins.


Until she found the PERFECT pumpkin.


Then she played in the hay maze (toddler-version, that is). She was a little apprehensive at first...

but she got over that pretty quickly.

After checking out the market, enjoying some fried apple fritters, and buying some delicious apple cider, Maddie was DONE. We never made it to the actual pumpkin patch, but there's always next year.

At the Farm

I wanted to get some good pumpkin patch picture with Maddie, so we headed out to Weber's Cider Farm.  They have great cider, but not too many spots for Kodak moments.  Good thing, because our camera died just minutes into the trip.  We did manage to snap this one though, and it's a keeper: 

The farm didn't really have a pumpkin patch, so Maddie picked a little pumpkin off the table and this became her new favorite toy...until it started to rot from all of the slobber she shared with it.  And she's wearing a cute little bow that my cousins made her!  Isn't it sweet?

After our first failed attempt at finding a pumpkin patch, we headed out to Larriland Farms.  It was awesome!  Madeleine was all smiles the entire time we were there.  She was quite impressed by all of the pumpkins.

Fun was had by all (and Mom and Dad enjoyed some very tasty sweet potato fries and fudge).  We headed home with more apple cider and a sweet and tired out baby.
