Fun in the Pumpkin Patch!

Yesterday we had the most glorious and fun day! Our children and their families along with our brother and sister-in-law and their new baby, Draven enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at Joe's Pumpkin Patch eating lunch tailgate style, searching for the perfect pumpkin, exploring the corn fields, taking pictures and riding in the hay wagon!!
We came home and set up on the picnic table in the backyard to carve our pumpkins and sort through the guts for seeds to roast. The weather was fantastic allbeit the wind blew like crazy. We enjoyed laughing, taking pictures, even one with baby Reid in his Daddy's pumpkin shell. As the sun was beginning to set, we went inside to eat our traditional harvest meal right out of a pumpkin shell.
After dinner we dressed the kids in their halloween costumes, took 5 cameras-worth of pictures, then dressed them in their Halloween pj's and again took many pictures. They were sooooo cute. My parents came down from Olympia to meet Reid for the first time and enjoyed all of the festivities. Terry's younger brother Ted and his wife Sarah had their firstborn little Draven, 10 days before Reid was born and we truly enjoyed having these two little boys to "ooh" and "ahh" over. As you will see by the pictures, Reid and Draven, only 10 days a part are nearly the same size. It just so happened that they both had the same sleeper and knitted pumpkin hats. They couldn't be more precious!
