Pumpkin Patch Fun!

We went to the pumpkin patch today and Lincoln had so much fun. He was in awe over all of the pumpkins to choose from. Finally, he decided on 3 of the cutest ones in the patch. My friend Amanda and her children Alyssa, Annabelle, and Hope joined us. We all enjoyed our hayride, cider, and donuts. Lincoln was so busy taking it all in that he didn't even notice the horse rides, huge toy tractor, and slides...next week we will go back with my mom and Brayden to play some more. There were so many people today that it was hard to move around...the weather was beautiful and I am sure it brought all of the people out. Papa and Lincoln had fun with the lamas and goats. I was in line getting tickets for the hayride and was unable to get pictures...bummer! Next week I will have to get some with the animals. checking out the big pumpkins with Papa
"this one!" he said

Well, onto our other son - Everett is now the size of a spaghetti squash! He is approx. 11 inches long and weighs almost a pound. Last night we hit another milestone with him. I felt him kick me from the outside. He was kicking like crazy for about 15 minutes after I laid down for bed.
