Pumpkin Patch

I apologize for the onslaught of pictures.  It's hard to choose just a few pictures, and I have not figured out how to do the collage thing yet.  So, keep scrolling.  Caroline's so darn cute it's hard to narrow down the selections.  Anyway, the day after we got back Eli and I took Caroline to a pumpkin patch in Indiana.  Many of you might know that the worlds best pumpkin patch is in Omaha.  I have not been there for several years, and it makes me sad.  It is the standard by which all pumpkin patches will forever be measured by me.  Although this pumpkin patch, Hubers Farm, was not as good as the Omaha one, it was still fantastic!  We had so much fun.  It was a beautiful fall day!  We went in the afternoon so Caroline slept in and had a morning nap.  She also slept all the way out there so she was in good spirits.  We ate at home, but couldn't resist each getting a homemade donut (so good!) and sharing a hot cider.  We also brought back a bag of apples from their orchard, Sunday is apple dumpling day!  Enjoy the pictures.  It was a perfect day! The fall out here is so beautiful.  You can't believe all the colors and the beautiful weather.  I love Kentucky!

Before we left.

Happy to be back with Daddy

There is a market type area where you can buy all kinds of wares


There was also a live band playing "Thriller" and other tunes.  Caroline really liked the music.



I love this one where they are looking at each other!


I have to admit we got stopped several times by people to tell us how cute she is.  We have to agree.



They had a small lake/large pond with ducks and swans.  Caroline was really interested in them.

Her first horsey ride!


In front of a tree with pretty red leaves.


That's right, a cool bus.

In the patch.  We didn't actually buy pumpkins there, they were expensive, I can get them cheaper at the grocery store.  But we did ride the wagon out to the pumpkin patch and walked around. 

Perfect size for the baby!

Looks so fun! I love Caroline's jacket. Did someone make that for her or did you get it somewhere?
