Pumpkin Patch 2012

A perfect Autumn day was presented to us for our annual trip to Vala's Pumpkin Patch.  It was a beautiful 80 degrees and sunny, and we had some free tickets courtesy of my good friend.  Usually it is in celebration of our nephew's birthday that we head to Vala's, but this year it was to celebrate my friend's daughter's birthday.  That means there were seven little girls running around together.  Surprisingly, very little drama ensued!!

My girls were not too keen on being photographed, but I managed to snag a few pictures.  Like this one of Evelyn playing dead:

And these of the girls riding in the pedal cars:

And these of the girls jumping on the pillows:

Beyond these very few photos, I didn't take anymore.  Despite lack of photographic proof, the girls had a great time!  They always head fearlessly into the "haunted" house (no photo).  They love to roast hot dogs over the camp fire (no photo).  And they love helping the birthday kid open presents (no photo).

Thanks to my friend Amanda for inviting us to the party and for the tickets.  We enjoyed the beautiful day and the apple cider.  We definitely needed the smiles.

The boys stayed home alone together all day, and when we got home they were both still alive.  Yes!
