Pumpkin Patch Day

We spent last Sunday at a couple pumpkin patches. We first went to Rombach's in Chesterfield. It was so much fun and SOOOO windy. You can tell that from all of our pictures. Not a good hair day, that's for sure! We ended the day in beautiful Augusta at Centennial Farms. This one wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but Kate enjoyed their little playground with a haybale maze.

Kate was fascinated by all the little pumpkins.

She would pick up the dirt and sand and then hold her hand out for us to clean them off.

She wasn't too sure about all of these big pumpkins.

Seriously... how sweet are chubby little baby hands?

Oh, and I have to mention this. This is how Kate preferred to walk around the pumpkin patch. She screamed if we carried her, didn't want to hold our hands, but she HAD to push the stroller by herself.

Trust me, it was a SLOW trip.

The cutest was when she would stop to peer around and see if anyone was coming.

We took a break for a snack. Can you see how windy it was??

Then, she took a trip through a little tunnel. She crawled all the way through to Daddy.

Notice the leftover banana on her face? Where was her mother with those baby wipes, anyway?

While Kate snoozed, we drove to Augusta (beautiful drive) and visited Centennial Farms.

It ended up getting REALLY cold, so we left. Kate's nose was all red and we all had windblown hair.
It was one of our best days so far this fall.
Mark and I kept commenting on how everything is so much more fun with our little lady.
