"The Great Pumpkin"


I understand the concept of a world of "firsts" but sadly I realize they are really just a series of lasts.................this is my boys first halloween..........but really it is their last first!!! There will never be another FIRST halloween. With that thought in mind, I wanted to make it memorable.........so I set out to find an adventure........................kinda like Charlie Brown's adventure to find the Great Pumpkin!!!! So after searching the internet, ah yes the great knower of all things, I found a website called pumpkin patches and more.

I was only looking for a pumpkin patch to take the boys to, basically so I could fulfill my desire to capture the moment in film!!! When I discovered that just 15 minutes down the road in Calera, the train depot would take you on a train ride to a pumpkin patch!! What a wonderful adventure for the boys!!!!! So we loaded up the entire family: Mom, Dad, Brady, Hayden, Uncle Bart, Aunt Abby, Cousin Cela, Mama T, Papa T, Cousins Kimberly, Shane, Kayla and Haley....and all aboard we were off.

The trip was quite nice......all went well for the most part.....neither boy cared to have himself on the actual grass................so as you will see in additional posted pix, they would much rather be held. But yes, we did capture the moments on film.............and Mom and Dad even got in the photo too!!!

Hey Stephanie! Your boys are adorable. I love the smocked jumpers! Ada is on her 2nd Halloween, but this is going to be her "first". We were a bit busy last year with bringing her twin home the day before Halloween last year. Pumpkin patches here charge admission! And... they aren't cheap. So, she might not get a pumpkin patch visit until we grow our own.

Aunt Steph---I just loved the pumpkin patch! Thank you so much for inviting me and Mommy and Daddy. Although I was jealous I couldn't have any of the yummy goodies you made for everyone (no teeth yet, ya know) Mommy and Daddy talked about how delicious everything was! You know you're my favorite Aunt(even if you are my only one) and I really apprectiated the awesome day with my family! Love-Cecilia
