I get so excited to go to the pumpkin patch with The Henderson's each
year. It is one of those things that makes me so happy and there really
isn't much to it. Look at the pumpkins. Paint a face. Enjoy the
weather. Simple. But, they are my favorite family and it is a tradition I treasure, and this year, Year Four, was the most fun yet! Our first pumpkin patch with all FOUR cousins.
We went to a new place this year and it was awesome! The girls really enjoyed it and I think the parents had perma-smiles. (Well, it was a litttttle pricey, so Ross and Derek might have let those smiles slip just a few times, haha). These three were raring to go.
This one had to rest up before she got going. Hard for a little toot to keep up with the big girls.
I don't even know what was the best part of the day, so I will go in order. The girls loved jumping in the bouncy house and Amelia was pleased there were "no wild boys or big people" in it.
Elise was the hardest to coax out of the bouncy house and surprisingly, a bribe of face painting got her out. She has always been scared of getting her face painted, but was as brave as can beeee this time.
Amelia chose a ladybug and a leaf |
Ingrid chose a beautiful butterfly |
HAHA, started out a little nervous, but sissy held her hand |
Elise chose a bee and was VERY proud of it. |
They had a fun little playground area that the girls loved and some animals in little cages. Liv looking at the baby calf was hilarious. She was giggling and mooing--such a sweet girl.
The little blue train was a hit too, but I was worried about Elise because they had no seatbelts. She didn't move a muscle though and kept saying, "Eese yikes this ride!" Amelia decided she didn't know if the driver would bring her back so she wanted me to walk alongside the train. LOL. I did :)
We ended the night with a hayride and a beautiful sunset. Ahhhh perfection.
So thankful for another great year with great weather. I ended the evening with a FULL HEART.
