Pumpkin Patch

Back in October we headed out an a beautiful day to the local pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. 
Ethan thought he found the perfect one, turned out it was rotten on the side.
Maybe this is the one.
Lillie found one she liked
Ethan's finally got the "one"
It had rained a lot before we went, so while the patch was dry, a lot of the pumpkins were rotten and squishy. Lillie went up to everyone looked it if was rotten, smelled it and said, "awe man, its stinky!"
She loves wearing her rain boots!
We took a ride on the tractor to and from the patch.



It was such a nice day that we decided to hike up to Heublien Tower.  Turns out it was their annual Tower Toot fundraiser, so the place was packed. We had the ergo in the car to carry Lillie in, but Ethan had to walk the entire 2.5 miles there and back.  He was a champ and only got tired at the very end. Lillie fell asleep on Ryan's back on the way down. Ethan heard us say it was the Tower Toot (no idea why they call it that) and apparently he was looking forward to hearing the tower toot as he is obsessed with telling us when he toots.  When we got to the tower, he was very disappointed. Now when ever he sees Heublien Tower as we are driving around town, he says, "There's the tooting tower!"

Ethan is starting with a fake smile when I ask him to smile for the camera.  He has such a beautiful smile, I need to find better ways to get a natural look..
Finally a picture of all of us including baby #3!

We had a great family day and ended it with burgers at Five Guys.  Doesn't get better than that!
