Preschool Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

On Wednesday Brooke's school went to a local pumpkin patch...this trip was rescheduled from last week when it was a high in the low 40's and rainy. Yesterday was upper 70's and beautiful!

One of her favorite activities were the big slides.
I struggled to find somewhere that was a good photo op combined with good lighting, somewhere to sit, etc... this still wasn't the best background. And I completely gave up on getting Morgan to look at the camera because she was pretty enthralled with all the pumpkins around her. Just seconds after taking this picture Brooke decided she was done and she jumped down and left her wobbly 7 month old sister sitting alone...I made a one handed catch of Morgan just seconds after taking this picture and seconds before she had a pumpkin stem in her face! I'm writing about it in a whimsical manner but it wasn't funny. At all!
Checking herself out in the fun house mirrors.

Of the 100 different fun things you could do at this pumpkin patch Brooke decided she loved this old, stiff, circa late 70's ride on skunk. There is no understanding this girl sometimes.

It was nice to have Nana with us...although I didn't get her in any good pictures...because it let me enjoy some time on the slides with Brooke while Nana watched Morgan.

We're hoping to go to a different pumpkin patch this weekend before Nana heads home but the weather for Saturday isn't looking too promising. Last Saturday it was a rainy mess, too...so that just means that Brooke may end up being the only lucky one who gets to go to a pumpkin patch this year!
