Pumpkin Patch With Kiya & Caiden

Well, this year I just haven't been really feeling it ya know? I mean, I actually waited until the LAST possible moment before taking the kids to the pumpkin patch. Normally, by this time we would have logged at least 5-6 trips already.



Not this year. In fact, the only reason I went at all at this point was because I was afraid I would not have pictures of Kiya's first Halloween and pumpkin patch pictures. (Shh...don't tell anyone. We actually did get pumpkins, but never carved them. This is the first year since having kids that Dave and I didn't carve the pumpkins. Maybe the kids won't notice, or if they do maybe we will carve them AFTER Halloween.)

Anyway, out of desperation to get some pictures of Kiya and Caiden at the patch, I loaded the kids in the car, and off I went. Now, I was solo, so it was quite challenging to get pictures of all three of us. However, some kind pumpkin people took pity on me (as I tried to take pictures of the three of us myself) and took a few shots of us. Of course my camera died early on, so there are only a few pictures that I will be sharing.

and some nice pumpkin patron took pity and took our picture.


Caiden actually volunteered to take this picture.

Kiya was more fascinated by the hay than the camera.



Nope this picture is not upside down. She was looking up at me, and I was looking down at her. :)

My sister and her husband eventually joined us, but by that time I was ready to go. I'd already been there for over 1 hour and 1/2.

Caiden did get to go on the spider man bounce house, and the petting zoo. Although I tried to get Kiya to feed the animals, they seemed more interested in her...I had to keep moving her away from the chickens especially. The chickens and ducks seemed extremely interested in Kiya, to the point that I was practically running away from them. They were a bit grabby. The sheep and goats were much more docile. No pigs this year. Boo...I like the pigs. I would have taken a picture of the turkey (reminded me of Tom the turkey), but remember how my camera died. Yep...that's right. No Tom the Turkey picture for you (well, frankly there wouldn't be anyway as the real Tom was killed and eaten for Thanksgiving a few years ago...NOT by me).

Kiya was So impressed. Can't you tell?
