Pumpkin Patch New Family Tradition

We went to the pumpkin patch in Hammond with our son.  It was great!  They had lots of props for picture taking, a pumpkin patch, picnic tables and tents (they didn't sell food, but welcomed anyone bringing a meal to enjoy their lunch there on the grounds).... it only cost $ 7.00 per child (nothing for the adults).  I mean, really?  Where can you go for seven bucks for two adults and one child and have a lot of fun?!

Our iPhones ran out of juice with all the pictures we took :)  Are you ready for cuteness overload??

Love the next one - already has a shoe off!

(Below shot, my husband fussed at me, "You have my leg in the shot!  I told you to tell me when to move my leg."  Hehe)

Mommy picked out a pumpkin for Gregory.

No matter what we did - call, whistle, crumble crunchy leaves, he would NOT look up.  I think someone told him what happens to the turkeys!

Happy to be back on the wagon :)

Afterwards, we went to visit our good friends, Kristen and Bill.  They live close by and it was perfect timing to give them a hug and wish them a happy anniversary (they are married 7 years).

Below:  Kristen and Gregory - with Kristen and Bill's dog - N'awlins - yes, it's a dog, not a horse. 

Gregory is still learning how to "softly" pet an animal, rather than grab the fur.

It was a great day and I really hope it's a tradition we can continue in the years to come!
