On Saturday morning, we headed out for our annual visit to the pumpkin patch. We had arranged to go with friends and were really looking forward to having a great time!

Admittedly, we were completely unprepared for the weather. Earlier that same morning, I had gone running in shorts and a t-shirt! The pumpkin patch is in a neighboring county, so naturally, we didn’t expect to encounter high winds and a huge drop in temperature. Kaya really could have used a hat, mittens, and a warmer coat. Mom fail.

She did get to enjoy seeing all the farm animals before it got too cold, though! And she tried to milk a wooden cow… … and Michael slingshot a pumpkin across a pond!
We did take a short hayride to the field to pick out a pumpkin. (cold weather had Michael making some funny faces)Our cold little girl gave me one big smile right before we left, so at least I have one good photo to remember our trip this year!
Kaelyn didn’t make it into any pictures, because luckily, she was wrapped up (warmly) in the Ergo carrier and slept nearly the entire time!
