pumpkin patch

last week our playgroup went to the pumpkin patch, so fun!

add 20 preschool/toddlers, + 8 school buses, + about a million people and your bound for some excitement!

this little lady caused a bunch of drama for this mama early on.

they have a little playground area that all the kids were playing in. i was taking a few pictures, and i went to take one of addie and when i turned around, i didn't see frankie. i wasn't worried about it, but after a few minutes, i started to worry a little.

after i had searched the whole playground, and not found her, and it had been at least 5 minutes, i started to get very nervous. i told all the moms to keep a lookout and mindy and sarah started looking with me. there were seriously a million people there and my mind started to go to that scary place where you are start thinking about what exactly you would do if you couldn't find your baby.

i looked all through the barn and still nothing. 

panic!

i was the crazy pregnant lady shouting "frankie! frankie!" and not caring at all how people thought i looked.

after searching the barn i turned left, away from the playground and there was little miss bratty herself, just watching the animals in the little animal pen! at this point it had been 10-15 minutes! and she was just perusing the animals in the pen, like nothing was wrong. there were a couple of other moms there and they said they were watching her, but since she didn't seem lost, they didn't know for sure. she had wandered at least a whole football field. 

 (i am terrible with distances, but that's my estimate. it was far!)

anyhow, dramatics over, we had a really good time.

and this poor lady loves animals!

(i say "poor" because she will probably never have a pet as long as she lives at our house)

hayride!

the whole fun group.

"whoa!"

after playing, picnicing, hayriding, picking pumpkins, then picking apples, the girls were in a daze.

 i wanted to take some pictures of them and the beautiful mums, but they were totally out of it!

about 2 minutes into the ride home...

addie held steady though. still a little out of it and sleepy, but she stayed awake the whole ride home.

we love the pumpkin patch!!!
