Pumpkin Patch

Photo of the Week

Well, it is getting close to my favorite holiday! But even more than actual Halloween I just love all the activities that go along with Halloween. This weekend was the one I look forward to most- our trip to the pumpkin patch.  Knox is just getting to be old enough that he really understands when you tell him he is going somewhere. We talked to him about the pumpkin patch on Friday and he woke up on Saturday morning asking when we were leaving- he was ready!

For the past two years we have gone to a patch in Manor, but this year we decided to try out a new one.   It is in Marble Falls, TX a little over an hour from our house. We had been there before to pick strawberries but never for their pumpkin festival.  It was awesome! They had tons of things for the kids to do and Knox had a blast.  We only had a small window (about 2 hours) before we needed to get back on the road for nap time. So we let Knox do the candy corn maze, the jumping pit and the hayride.  Isla was just along for the ride.  She has been difficult lately so she didn't have the greatest day but we all made it through without too many tears.  Isla has just switched to one nap and is in the process of learning how to walk so my theory is that all these transitions are making her rather cranky.  Let's hope she's in a good mood for her birthday party on Sunday!

This weekend is Isla's big first birthday party. Kyle's mom will be in town to help us celebrate and we're excited! I'll post a bunch of pictures next week.
