We've got our pumpkins and corn stalks....now it's time to head home! So much fun at the pumpkin patch!!!

Since the last few weeks have been so busy we were FINALLY able to make it to the pumpkin patch today. We had originally planned on going with Grandma Jill, Grandpa Randy, and Uncle Kevin yesterday, but the weather took a turn for the worse and we decided to hold off for a bit of a nicer day. We were so blessed with a beautiful, sunny, fall day today so we had to take advantage of it. We headed down to Spooner Farms in Orting for our annual pumpkin patch fun. Maddie absolutely LOVED riding in the wheel barrow! Although we had already carved pumpkins we decided we needed a few more to decorate our front porch. Maddie did a great job picking out some small pumpkins.

After a few minutes of pumpkin picking, she had discovered the fun of MUD PUDDLES. For the rest of the time, Maddie lead us in all kinds of directions and had to be sure to step and splash in almost every single mud puddle on the farm. Maddie also really enjoyed looking at the animals and watching the bigger kids do the duck races. Always such fun times with our little girl!

Seabrook

Stairway down to the beach. 91 stairs to be exact (counted by my dad, so I hope that's right) LOL.

We made it down to the beach. Maddie was still learning how to walk in her rain boots.

Heading down the the beach!

Getting ready to head back home. Maddie was helping with the cleaning too.

Out for one last stroll with Grandma Jill before we hit the road.

Last weekend our family Mom, Dad, Kevin, John, Madison, and myself went away to the ocean. We stayed in the most wonderful little "neighborhood" in Seabrook. It was the most wonderful time together! Madison absolutely LOVED the ocean. Although it was rainy on Saturday when we were there, we didn't let that stop us from enjoying ourselves. Maddie couldn't get enough of the endless playground the beach and ocean provided. We spent our weekend walking along the beach, riding bikes, flying kites, hot tubbing, and of course eating! :-) We are definitely going to have to make it an annual family tradition to spend the weekend in Seabrook.
