Pumpkin patch and waterfalls...

Since this has been such a beautiful, dry weekend, we decided to head out to the pumpkin patch this afternoon. This has become a little tradition for us and right away Karleigh wanted to pick a seat for her picture. Getting a good picture of both kids together at the pumpkin patch has proved difficult, at best. There's just so much to see and the kids are never looking in the same direction at the same time!

Neither one was too sure what to think of the pumpkin man. Karleigh confessed this evening that "his gloves were kind of scary..."

Rylan had a blast going through the hay bale maze. He flew through it several times and even helped Karleigh make it through!

This chicken kept posing and getting closer and closer to my camera. I thought for sure I was going to end up with beak marks on my lens...

After we finished up at the pumpkin patch, we drove around the corner to the waterfalls so the kids could run around some more. I am one of those Nervous Nellie mommas especially when it comes to things like big high rocks and cold running water but the kids followed directions very well so they got to explore nice and close to the river.

Awww! Such a big 3 year old!

It was a great way to wrap up a wonderful weekend. We were blessed in the weather department this year as it seems that this weekend is going to be bookended by wet rainy weekends. It was also nice that Jim was able to work it so that he had three days off in a row. He hardly ever gets two days off in a row so three was a real treat. This weekend could easily have turned out to be a real bummer but instead, I found it very peaceful and enjoyable. Tomorrow is back to the same ol' same ol' but with a very strong feeling of refreshment.
