The Pumpkin Patch

Every year we go to the same Pumpkin Patch.  It's called Daniels here in St. Peters.  I just love everything they have to offer for the kids to do!  It is a family tradition to go with Grandma and Granddad to pick out our pumpkins.

Jax gives the best "cheese"face ever.  
In fact, the entire family had to take a "cheese" picture!
See, Cheese with a cheese cracker in his mouth!!!
My beautiful girl ready to pick out pumpkin.
My sweet son yells "Please take a picture with me and the scarecrow!"

My husband found a lovely tombstone with his name on it and  pretended to be dead!

Lorén saw daddy do it and found a tombstone with her middle name on it and copied  her daddy!

Another highlight is the hay maze!  Granddad always takes them through.  It is slightly funny to see a 6'6" man going through the maze chasing his grandbabies!

Mom, Where's Granddad?

Boo Jax!  Granddad scared him!  Perfect!

I just loved this picture of my son!  I can't tell you how many times random strangers have literally stopped me to tell me how handsome they think he is. . .I do have to agree!
Granddad lifted Lorén up to pet the pony
So of course Zach needed a turn.
And of course Monkey see, monkey do!  Although I got Granddad right as Jax kicked him.  Sorry Granddad!!!

And the group shot!  I LOVE this picture!  It was so much fun to do!!!!
My Son invited me to take another funny picture with him!
And what is it about these cut out thingers that is so funny and darn cute!

There is a huge hill with three tunnel slides coming out of each one!  Jax LOVED it!

I laugh wondering what my Michigan relatives are thinking watching us city folk marvel over  TRACTORS and CORN! They do love trying out the different tractors!



And of course the recycled tire swings

Jax HATED them!
Now this is love!  Squeezing a 6'4" man into this barrel for a ride with his son!  Jax was thrilled!!!!!!

I just love that my older two begged to ride together!  We offered them their own "horse" and they said, "Please let us ride together!"


Just a fun shot of the train ride!

Granddad and his boy!
Grandma and her girl getting a swing on the tractor tire swing!

Granddad and Grandma might HATE me for posting this but I LOVE it because my parents still play together!

My kids swinging with their grandparents!  Fun times!

Every year daddy has to bury the kids in corn!

I think she is just precious!

My baby boy in spiderwebs!

My baby girl in spiderwebs!

What a great granddad!

Lorén quickly picked out her "perfect" pumpkin!

Jax "helped" Grandma pick out his perfect pumpkin

And Zach spent the longest time trying to find the most "perfectest" pumpkin ever!
In the end, we had a fantastic day.  Thank you so much to my wonderful parents who give such perfect memories to our children!
