Pumpkin Fun

We had a great weekend playing with pumpkins while getting ourselves into the fall spirit! On Saturday, CC went and bought all 3 grandkids their own little pumpkin to paint as well as 2 big ones for them to decorate and leave at her house. Abi painted a pink pumpkin with the help of CC while Daddy helped Aiden paint his blue and yellow...but after a few minutes they were finished and ready to move on to a bubble bath. Emily, on the other hand, was the first to start and the last to stop. She loved painting her pumpkin, using every color of paint CC had, and was upset when it was time for her to stop. When she realized she was joining Aiden and Abi in a bubble bath, her attitude quickly changed. Painting and baths...Emmy's two favorite activities!On Sunday, we woke up to rain, which I thought was going to spoil our plans to take the kids to the Halter Pumpkin Patch. However, as the afternoon rolled around it was only drizzling so we decided to brave the mud and head on out. I am so glad we went! Emily, Aiden and Abi had a great time off-roading in the wagon through the mud looking at pumpkins and even got out to play in a few "dry" areas. There was a petting zoo where Emily held a baby chick, with Daddy's help, and pony rides for the kids. Abi tried the pony ride first and decided she was not ready for that kind of adventure yet so we let Emily have a turn. I fully expected her to have the same reaction, but she fooled me!!! She rode that pony like a pro while Cappy and I took turns holding her on the saddle.
