Curtis & Co.: Fall is here and so is our annual pumpkin patch outing!

As has become tradition in our family, we have made it a point to go to the pumpkin patch every year since Ava was born. This year was no different, and we picked an absolutely gorgeous Sunday to go. The weather was simply perfect, in the mid 70s, sunny, blue skies, low humidity - and plenty of people seemed to agree - the pumpkin patch was packed!!!!

Vovo and Voovoo met us there, and the first thing the kids wanted to do was ride the little train. We thought it was a good idea to just go ahead and get that part done, since we needed to wait in line. So we waited, and waited, and waited some more! It took us an hour of waiting to get our turn on a little train ride around the Christmas tree farm where the pumpkin patch was; the ride was not that long, maybe 10 minutes, but the kids seemed to enjoy it. For days now after our outing, Alex still wakes up talking about it - "Mommy, I went on a train at the pumpkin patch! Vovo and Voovoo went on the train too, and Daddy, and Ava, and Sofia!" So I suppose all the waiting was worth it! Besides, the kids got to enjoy a snow cone while we waited, and I think that made the whole experience that much sweeter!

After the train ride, we went take some pictures among the pumpkins. Ava was practicing her balancing and climbing skills, and Alex was enjoying climbing over and through all the pumpkins too. Sofia seemed to enjoy not only the weather, but these huge pumpkins too!
