Our little pumpkin...

I've been wanting to take Amelia to the pumpkin patch and decided yesterday was the day, since the next few weekends are going to be busy. I wish it had been a little cooler, but she did really well despite the heat. There were so many kiddos running around, it was hard to keep her attention to take her picture. She's a people-watcher and will sit and wave at everyone going by, whether they're paying her any attention or not.



Me and my little pumpkin.



They had lots for the kids to do, but Amelia was a too small for most of it. She had no clue why we were sticking her head through this hole.



The line and wait to go out to the actual pumpkin patch was so long. We didn't want to keep Amelia directly in the heat, so we stuck around the covered area where they were selling the pumpkins. Maybe next year it will be nice and cool and we will take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch.



We picked up a couple of large pumpkins for the front porch and a Cinderella pumpkin (those are my fave) to use inside. We let Amelia choose her own tiny pumpkin. :)



We finished off the day with a cold lemonade, which Amelia loved. She would say, "YUM...YUM" until we gave her another drink. They also had those ginormous corn dogs like you get at the fair, but I refrained. We may have to take another trip out there just for the funnel cakes and corn dogs. ;)



It was a fun day - just the three of us!

Love to all,
