pumpkin patch 2010

well, i hate to think this, much less write this, but this may be the last year for us to visit the local pumpkin patch.  i could go every year for the rest of my life.  i love fall-ish things like this but i fear it is becoming less appealing to my boys who love all things legos and star wars.  good thing we found these guys there!

nonetheless, when i heard my sister wanted to take my little nephew to one, i jumped at the chance to act as tour guide.  it was so fun to relive the fascination of such a place through the eyes of a one year old.  and noodle, who was out of school, was happy to act as tour guide too.

i think the biggest hit, maybe for them both, were the fun wooden cut-outs around the pumpkin patch.  they loved seeing familiar cartoon characters.  my sister and i were photo-op happy and the boys cooperated, most of the time! :)

thanks stacey and cousin porkchop for letting us accompany you to your very first pumpkin patch.  hope you had as much fun as we did!

the picture below makes me hear noodle saying "check ya later dude!"
