Pumpkin Patch

You know, good bloggers use their blog to record events as they happen. They like to keep things current. I, on the other hand, play constant catch up. I'm usually AT LEAST two weeks behind and I have pictures just waiting to be posted.

Oh well... I guess the main point is that I at least have our family's memories documented (even if it is WAY after the fact).

Back to the topic of this post. A couple (few) weeks ago, we went to Rombach's Pumpkin Patch with our friends, Megan & Greg, and their little sweetie, Allie. It's become a Roskowske tradition to go to Rombach's. We have been going there the past three years and it really is a fun place.

Lots of photo ops with all the pumpkins and fall colors.

And, is it just me, or did Kate look HUGE in that picture next to Allie?

Riding the pony was a little different this year.
Last year, I walked next to the pony while Kate wimpered because she hated it.
This year, she was braver, although I'm not sure she cracked a smile the whole ride.

We rode the hayride into the fields of pumpkins.

Here's Mommy and her favorite boy in the whole world! (Besides Daddy, of course.)

This is a memory Kate won't forget. There was a little barrel train ride that takes the kids around the field. Kate came back almost in tears. She told me she thought she was "getting lost".

I guess she thought she was getting lost with a whole bunch of kids. ha! (That's her in the very back, by the way.)

So, now when she looks at this picture, she says, "I did not like that ride. I think I was getting lost." She hasn't forgotten... :)

Jack enjoyed eating a graham cracker. After he was done choking on a piece of hay from the ground, that is.

And, oh my. Did we ever love taking these pictures of little Jack! He's so stinkin' cute, I can hardly stand it.

This is one of those photos where I can almost picture what Kate will look like when she's grown.

After taking pictures in the pumpkin field, Kate got her face painted.

End the trip with a sucker and we were Parents of the Year!

Sweet little Jack trying to touch the pumpkins on our way to the exit.

One last effort to get a picture of all three of them:
