Pumpkin Patch 2009

We got a few brief hours of sunshine this past weekend so we decided to hit the pumpkin patch. It was a little cold, but the girls thoroughly enjoyed the hay bale maze and the very noisy cows. Makenna and Daddy also participated in the corn maze, which luckily Makenna always helps show Daddy the way out so he doesn't get lost ;)

Everything about Kroul's Pumpkin Farm is a tradition for us. Josh and I went here before we even had kids and we knew we would be back when we had kiddos. We have now been there 5 years in a row, every year since Makenna was 15 months old. It's great because even Makenna is starting to form memories of the place and remembers things from previous visits. I started off thinking that we would just go to a pumpkin patch closer to our house this year for convenience, but Josh tugged at my heart strings when he reminded me we wouldn't have all of our traditional pumpkin patch photos.


One of my favorite traditional pumpkin patch pictures... Daddy on the hay bales with his girls :)


Our other favorite pic... "How Tall This Fall" It's great to look back and compare pictures to see how much the girls have grown over the years!


Makenna - 5 years old


Maryn - 3 years old
