The Adventures of Natalie, Amanda and Will: Pumpkin Patch Fun

It's that time of year to make the trek to the pumpkin patch. This year, we went to the Disneyland of all pumpkin patches with some of Natalie and Amanda's friends from school. Before our friends arrived, we were able to snap a group photo in front of a load of pumpkins.

Here is a warm up shot of the girls waiting patiently for Will to join them in the photo.

We also "rode" in the little school bus.

And sat in some cool seats made out of old tractor seats.

Then we headed to the petting zoo where the kids had fun feeding and brushing the goats....until one came along and butted Amanda in the behind. It scared her just a bit and she was ready to make a quick exit!

Our friends arrived while we were petting and brushing the animals and the girls were SO excited to see them that they ran around in circles. Here are four of the girls together -- two sets of twins! A fifth little friend joined us shortly thereafter.

After running around in circles, Amanda went and jumped in the hay.

Everyone tries out their animal personalities.

And then we watched the waterfall for awhile -- joined in this picture by our fifth friend.

Here is the whole gaggle waiting for our train ride. Does it look hot? Well, it was. Probably about 90 degrees at this point. Sheesh! Too hot for a day at the pumpkin patch (but beautiful and we're lucky to have such nice weather)!

Will started the day a little quiet since he was outnumbered by the shrieking girls. But he did enjoy the train ride with dad, despite the somber look.

The train ride took us by the GIANT pumpkin patch.

After the train ride, we dashed on to the next activity. The girls were SO excited to spend time together that they ran around the entire place holding hands. It was a little bit of a hazard because there were so many people there, but it was darn cute at the same time.
