Pumpkin Patch 2011

We took our annual trip to Deardorff's Orchard in Waconia.  We had a beautiful day, as usual.  The sun was out, it was a bit crisp and it was wonderful to be outside.  We took some family pictures, looked at the animals, played with the pumpkins, sampled apples (the boys about ate them out of house and home), went on a hay ride, picked apples and had fun as a family.  I just love our tradition of going to Deardorff.

Owen and Chase got to pull the wagon with our big pumpkins in it.

 Chase pulls all by himself.

 Owen takes a big bite of the apple on our hay ride.

 

Chase gets a big bite, too

 Daddy and the boys collect apples.  It was hard for the boys to not pick the apples up off the ground.

 We had to hold hands because the Chase and Owen slipped on the apples and fell down too many times.
