Pumpkin Patch

The babies and I headed to a local pumpkin patch today with the Carson City MOMS Club. We've been so lucky to find a bunch of mommy-and-baby groups here.
Gramps and Daddy had taken Delaney and Elliot to the same patch a few weeks ago and thought that it was 'small'; I thought that it was perfect! There were about 15 hyper toddlers running around, a very steep hay-slide (which Laney went down by herself about 10 times!), a bunch of pint-sized pumpkins, homemade cookies and warm apple cider.

Luckily for Elliot, the pumpkin patch wasn't very 'stroller-able', so Elliot was free to roam, crawling around everywhere and munching on hay and who-knows-what-else, while I ran after Delaney, going up and down, up and down, and up and down the hay-slide.


Delaney ate a yummy chocolate cookie and drank apple cider from a big girl cup while sitting on picnic bench with all of the other 'big' kids, while Mommy chased after Elliot, pulling him off of haystacks and removing numerous foreign objects from his mouth. This little boy will put anything in his mouth. He reminds me of a little puppy, chewing on cords!

how fun! I am so happy you met a nice play group. They are growing up so much! Did Elliot's eyes change colors?

Emily, I think you are correct- Dave and I didn't really give the pumpkin patch a fair shake. We did however, buy Delaney and Elliot these disgusting "home-made" candies.

I love reading these posts about you and David and our grandkids. Please keep it up.
