Fun at the Alexander Pumpkin Patch!

Kieran was so excited to spend a couple hours this afternoon at the Alexander pumpkin patch in Rocheport. A good friend of ours from high school- Julia Mees, invited us to join other families and friends at her father's home to pick pumpkins and spend some time outside in the beautiful fall weather. Kieran had so much fun choosing pumpkins, running around with other children, climbing hay bales, digging in the dirt, riding toy tractors, flying a kite and eating sweets- washed down with hot chocolate- of course ;)  A perfect afternoon by any child's standard!

Cutting a pumpkin off the vine...

Ready, set...

Squeeze!! 

Tada- the perfect pumpkin! I think he liked the funny shaped ones the best ;)

He just loves rolling in the hay ;)

Hot chocolate break.

Kieran loves spooky stuff :)

Another hot chocolate break with this spooky statue ;)

Trucks in the dirt pile.

Julia's youngest daughter, Lauren, hung out with us for a while- she loved riding in the hay wagon with Kieran ;)

Too cute!

A cookie break this time...

Kieran's first kite-flying session... he flew that butterfly like a pro!

Scooping out the "guts"!

Look at that exertion...

Love this time of year :)
