pumpkin patch goodness

Oh how I do look forward to our pumpkin patch trips! Wanna know what made this year's trip even more fun? We were returning to the 1st pumpkin patch we ever took Maria to. :-) There's not a lot of 'repeat location' memories around here with our ever transient Army life. Made it all the more special to this overly sentimental mama.

Here's where we spent pretty much all of the morning...

as in really, we used up all of our tickets on feed before we could convince Maria that there was more to the day than feeding the animals!

At last, we were able to tempt our artsy-fartsy Maria away from the animals. Paint is always a suitable second love.

And we're definitely doing some catching up here... what a prego tummy! :-)

Dada's silly creativity at work :-)
