Moore Pumpkin Patches

Everyone woke up late this morning due to late nights last night. I figured we should stay home this morning since everyone had long, exciting days yesterday. But by about 11am, I was ready to get the hell out of the house. So off we went to the local pumpkin patch called Moore's. We've gone every year now and it is just the right distance and size for us. They have little rides, plenty of pumpkins and other fun halloweeny things. After checking things out, the kids hit the rides. The girls did a spinny pumpkin ride, the scary house, and the jumpy thing. I was going to limit the number of rides, something I never do at these kinds of places, but when they didn't take tickets on the scary house or jumpy thing, I said screw it. Then we went on the giant slide. I thought only Parker would go on, but when they wouldn't let him go alone, the girls wanted to go too. I sat with Miranda, thinking she would freak out the most, but it was Elizabeth who started crying in the middle of the slide. This this isn't the first time this has happened, I should remember that Elizabeth is the one who gets scared not Miranda.

After more rides, we had lunch and then actually picked pumpkins (what a concept!) They each picked white ones and then a big, tall one for Daddy. No one suggested we get one for me, which is just as well.
