Pumpkin Patch Birthday Party

Several weeks ago, Mason & I attended a super fun birthday party at the pumpkin patch for our friends' twin girls, Molly & Taylor. We had a great time...

The whole group of party guests:



We've been going to this pumpkin patch for the last 2 years, so we counted this as our trip for this year~since I didn't foresee us getting our newborn out to the patch!


The kids had potato sack races...


Mason was paired with birthday girl Molly


And then the adults had some fun, too!


The kids got to ride the barrels


And we all went on a hay ride around the patch


We took silly pictures


And then Mason got to pick out his own pumpkin


We then chose a pumpkin for each of us (as we do every year.) I let Mason pick out Madelyn's tiny little pumpkin!


We had such a great time celebrating the girls' birthdays, hanging out with friends, and enjoying a day at the pumpkin patch!

Our Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

About 3 weeks ago, we took Mason to the Pumpkin Patch. We visited the same one we took him to last year since it has hay rides, lots of pumpkins & gourds, beautiful Fall foliage, character cut-outs for photo-ops...lots of fun stuff! Each year, we each pick out our own pumpkin~Wayne gets a big one, I get a medium one & Mason gets a small one.

I love that they had this set up!




Mason on the barrel ride~it was so cute! They didn't have this ride last year. It was perfect for his age & he was excited to get on it right after we arrived.
Bye-Bye!
Hope they come back...

So realistic...


Loved these:

Painting Pumpkins

This afternoon, Mason painted the pumpkin he picked out yesterday at the pumpkin patch. He was a minimalist at first, but then got the hang of it & swirled the paint all around. He also painted the paper plates I used to put the paint on & some of the newspaper I laid down.

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

...ok, not a day. Maybe an hour?
Mason got to go to the pumpkin patch for the first time! He was excited to pick out his own pumpkin. Every year we get a big one for Wayne, a medium one for me & a small one for Mason. Each person gets to pick out their own. We ventured to Pea Ridge today to go to McGarrah's and it was pretty neat. They had hay rides pulled by a tractor (we didn't ride but Mason liked the tractor) and many great photo ops.
