Pumpkin Picking 2011

Well, it's that time again! Time to pick our pumpkins! Yet again this year, we hit up Trax Farms for some gourds and fun! And we were lucky this year to go again with our friends Miss Laura and Mr. Kenny and their lovely kiddos, Ian, Julia, and (new this year) AJ!!!

First up, GIANT PUMPKIN PILES!

Twins times TWO! I always love seeing these four together!

Then the rides opened and Colin saw the train. So, Colin, Gillian, and Julia got tickets for the train. Ian passed on a ride this time.

Gillian in her olive green shirt dress in this barrel thing makes me think she looks like a WWII female fighter pilot!

Our kids wanted to try the giant slide. They loved it! I was pretty impressed that they climbed and slid all by themselves!

Daddy took them into the petting zoo next since Colin wanted to pet the baby piggy. BUT Daddy made the critical mistake of actually buying food for the animals and they were literally mauled by goats. Very pushy goats. So, no piggy for Colin.

He was placated by the corn bin!

Oh yeah, and Mr. AJ...he showed off his photogenic side. Such a gorgeous baby! And so happy! (Only a little corn went in his mouth...)

And some snuggles with his Daddy! So sweet!

Gorgeous day. Good friends. Fun times. And three perfect pumpkins picked!

Your camera takes such beautiful pictures! I just love the pics of the kids climbing on the pile of pumpkins. Benny was looking at them with me and asked "Why can't we go there?" ;o) That little AJ really is adorable -- and how fun that you have another "twin family" to do stuff with!! I'm also very impressed with your kids for going on that BIG slide -- and I love seeing Gillian's little sagging tights crotch as she slides down!! Gotta love that (but seriously, that's a horrible feeling, isn't it? How do little girls stand it???).
