Pumpkin Picking Time!

Today (Sunday, 10/22) we went up to Valley Center to visit Bates Nut Farm. Jacob and Olivia had a great time picking out pumpkins and going on a wagon ride. We had a picnic lunch and even saw the Gates and Lofgren families. It was hotter than ever but we certainly had a fun time trekking through the field looking for just the right pumpkins.

Jacob thought this sign was hilarious. He wanted his picture taken in every single pumpkin.

Olivia was fascinated by the hay.

Jacob found his perfect pumpkin!

We found just the right size pumpkin for Olivia.

Here's what we ended up with! Every time we turned around Jacob was putting a pumpkin in the wheelbarrow. He kept picking up pumpkins that were away from the pile and saying they were all alone and needed friends. We didn't have the heart to say no, thank goodness they are pretty cheap!

These are incredible pictures! I want copies of all of them! I remember Jacob so little among the many pumpkins. Now he's a big boy and Olivia is growing so fast.

It is so hard to believe how fast the children are growing. Little Livy is always smiling and Jacob just keeps getting more handsome. We are truely blessed.
