On Sunday Simeon and I met up with a bunch of our friends and family at Lakeview Farms for my favorite fall activity: the corn maze and pumpkin patch!
After conquering the corn maze in about an hour, we all boarded the train and crossed the lake to search for the perfect pumpkin. This was Ana’s first pumpkin patch outing and you could see the excitement (and slight confusion) on her face. She wanted more than anything for us to set her down and let her climb among the pumpkins…
…but she settled for being released from the Baby Bjorn and propped up on a giant pumpkin for an adorable photo opp.
Once we selected our pumpkins (Ana even got her very own tiny one!) we boarded the “Pumpkin Harvest Express” train which brought us back to the farm. Then we all headed to my house to carve our pumpkins and enjoy some warm chili and corn bread.
We had a fabulous time and I am already excited to go back again next year! You can see all the pictures from the corn maze, pumpkin patch, and the carving party in the
Pumpkin Patch 2007 gallery. Enjoy!
so cute! a bit different then your picture last year. instead of having a belly that looks like a pumpkin, now you have your own lil pumpkin
Thanks for inviting me to my first corn maze, and pumkin patch outing,it was really fun. I just loved how Ana was leaning down from my arms staring at all the orange pumpkins. She was so happy to be down and sitting on the huge pumpkin…her little wrinkled nose laugh is adorable. Carrie, you did an outstasnding job on Ana’s first carved pumpkin!! Love you all. Mom/Gramma
