Last weekend Mike and I decided to take Annabelle to her first pumpkin patch. I mean, sure, she’s only 16 weeks old and will likely remember none of it. But, by golly, it’s her first Halloween! So led by our determination to “make a family moment” we packed up the car and headed to a farm in eastern Durham.
The farm consisted of two large pumpkin patches, a petting zoo with pigs and goats, tractors pulling hayrides, a “corn crib” (i.e. a large trough of sorts filled with dried corn that kids could play in…kind of like the ball pit at McDonald’s…which Mike promptly called a “pit of bacteria” because he’s a big spoil sport ;)), and a corn maze (i.e. a dirt trail through ankle high brown corn stalks that never produced because of North Carolina’s ridiculously hot summer).
We started with the petting zoo, but Little Miss was NOT interested…
So then we headed to one of the pumpkin patches to try and take a photo of her sitting next to the pumpkins. Here are just a handful of the MANY outtakes…
And the final winner…
Fed up with her goofy parents and their obsession with taking thousands of photos of her at every waking (and sleeping) moment, Annabelle decided that she had had enough and promptly fell asleep…
All in all it was a very fun afternoon! Now onto the next “family moment”…carving the pumpkins we brought home!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Gotta have those “family moments”! Mary pours over the old photo albums looking at the photos of those moments when she was little, so keep it up!!
Cutest pumpkin iin the patch!!
Hmm, perhaps you’ve solved the mystery of her afternoon nap? Out-takes were equally adorable.
