Pumpkin Patch 2011

Earlier this month we took Sophia to the pumpkin patch.  It was a beautiful morning!  We went to French Prairie Gardens which is where we went last year as well.  They have lots of fun stuff to do; including pig races, hay maze, corn maze, slides, all kinds of animals, and, of course, lots of pumpkins.  It was fun to think of how much Sophia has grown since we were there last year!

Right when we got there we realized that our camera had broken (a minor tragedy for yours truly) but luckily we had our phones so we were able to get a lot of pictures with them.  So the pictures are a little out of order in the blog since I downloaded them from our separate phones.  We have since gotten a new camera!


Pictures from Emily's Phone:
Here is Sophia waiting for the pig races.  It was bright!
Big girl!

Waiting in anticipation...

I had to get a close up of those curls!  Love them!

When I asked for a smile this is what I got:)

Sophia and Steven!
 

Birdies!


She was a little timid around the animals and only wanted to see them from afar. 


Watching Daddy pet the goats from a safe distance.



They were a bit too friendly...
This is one of my new favorites of Miss. Sophia!
Getting lost in the hay maze...


Love the boots!


Hitching a ride with Daddy!


In the corn maze!



Pictures from Steven's Phone:
Here piggie piggie!
And they're off!
Me and my favorite!
Another pig race...
Love her!
Not too sure about those chickens...

Timidly watching the animals...
Sophia's worried face
She'd got up close to this fence because the animals were on the other side
She loved the duckies!

Exploring!
Cutie!
The big slide- Sophia's favorite part of the day for sure!










So many pumpkins...which one should I choose?



On the hay ride-  she held my hand pretty tight. 
She did not like the loudness of the tractor, but LOVED the bumpiness of the ride.

It was a great day and I love making all of these memories with Steven and Sophia!

Sophia looked like she had a blast at the Pumpkin Patch - you and Steven do such fun things with her. What a lucky little girl! Love you all!
