This last week we had more fun visitors.  Grandma and Grandpa Hymas came for 4 days.  We had the perfect Fall festival while they were here. 
In one glorious Fall day we picked apples, went to the pumpkin patch, played in the leaves and made pumpkin cookies. 

First, we learned about how pumpkins grow….

Then we headed to the pumpkin patch.

Couldn’t you just eat her up! 

”Oooh, what IS that thing?”

”Maybe I will touch it…”

”Um, could I have some help here?”

”Maybe I’ll just eat it!”

Right as we were trying to take a family picture in the patch, Reagan found this caterpillar and all thought of standing still and posing nice and sweet for mom’s picture went out the window!  We took him home and he survived a night in the car (he was forgotten there overnight) and he is now happily crawling around his new jar home.  Reagan has a thing for finding caterpillars….every time he keeps one it makes a chrysalis and I insist that it’s dead and he insists that it’s not and 3 weeks later we have a moth or butterfly. 

Our family picture never did turn out.  Oh well.

“I don’t know about this you guys…”

Next was leaf jumping…


Yes, those are snow shovels and brooms that you see.

She wasn’t very happy with me…


She started to warm up though, and we even got a smile eventually.

And to end our perfect Fall day….pumpkin cookies with Grandma!

Thanks for making our Pumpkin Day so special, G & G!
