The Great Pumpkin!

The weather is getting to be really nice outside (this is my favorite time of the year) and we have gone to a few pumpkin patches to celebrate fall. Here, Charlie is at the Arboretum sitting in their pumpkin patch. We met a few friends there one morning, and Charlie just had a blast walking around watching all of the other kids play. She just loves being around others her size.

Last weekend, we went out to Bill Bates Ranch to visit their pumpkin patch, with Nana and Poppy, Aunt Traci and cousins Kylie and Riley. We also went on our first hay ride! Charlie loved picking the hay out of the bales and throwing it on the floor of the wagon. Then we went around looking at pumpkins, and ate a few hotdogs. They had bounce houses out there for the bigger kids and a petting zoo. It was fun!

Here is Charlie and Daddy on the hayride.
Whee Daddy! Lets go to another pumpkin patch soon! Now we have to get ready for Halloween, and it is just a few weeks away! Charlie is going as a bumble bee, and I can not wait to get her into that costume! She is going to be too cute! I think we might walk around to a few houses over here, and then maybe hand out candy to the other kids. Can't wait!
