Pumpkin Picking

So, we went pumpkin picking this past weekend with the in-laws, including my brother-in-law, sister-in law, her husband, and our niece Hannah.  We had a great time and Emma really seemed to enjoy it.  Here are some of the best pictures!


This was Emma's hooray for pumpkins face! She didn't really know what to think of the hayride out to the pumpkin patch.  When we first got on, she actually started crying.  Once it got moving, though, she was laughing, and looking all around at the fields we were going through and all the decorations they had up.  It was so exciting to see her react to everything.

Our family shot at the pumpking patch.  We walked to the far corners of the patch to find the perfect pumpkins for Emma's first Haloween!  She was loving looking at everything.

After pumpkin picking, we ventured over to this big field with a petting zoo, horse rides for the kids, a kiddie train, and food.  They had all sorts of witch, mummy, and pumpkin wood cutouts to put your head in for a picture.  This was by far the cutest picture taken that day.  Emma's smile is just so adorable, and who couldn't love a picture like this...my two favorite people in the world.

When we were done at the farm, we all headed back to my in-laws house, where everyone carved their own pumpkin (minus the babies of course).  I carved a cute cat on our pumpkin.  When we got home, I put it outside with a candle in it.  Emma seemed to think it was the most amazing thing!

It was so great getting together with family to do something fun.  We will have to make it an annual tradition.  This weekend Emma and I will be heading down the shore to my mom's house where the three of us will take in the Chatsworth Cranberry Festival.  We started going last year, when Emma was still in my belly and have decided to make it a girls tradition!  Pictures to follow.
