Obligatory Pumpkin Patch Photos

It's fall.  And everyone knows that if you fail to hit the local pumpkin patch Child Services comes knocking on your door by first frost.  And we don't want that...(or do we?  a childfree vacation? could we coordinate this with a cruise to the Bahamas?  let's investigate.)

Anyhow, I tried to take good pictures, but Ellie was cranky from lack of nap, and Gabe had an allergic reaction to split pea soup at lunch (UGH.  I HATE ALLERGIES.  THIS MAKES ME BEYOND CRANKY.) so he was super low energy.  I swear they had a good time, but it's tough to tell in these photos.  Anyhow, there's a scarecrow making party in the park next Saturday, so we'll try again with the fall-themed fun.

"No splash?  Really, mom?"

This picture makes the hayride look dangerous and terrifying...straight out of Willy Wonka.

Elle didn't really seem to get why we were there.  We'll do a jack o'lantern soon...

Staking his claim...

Okay, so Leila, Gabe, and Ellie are all making faces.  But look at Jonah!  That kid is too much.

Uncle Mike, Jonah, and Leila.
