With the temperature in the mid-80's on Saturday, it didn't really feel like fall, but we still decided to celebrate the season by visiting a pumpkin patch, which was the perfect occasion to break out Maddie's overalls for the first time...
I had to get a picture with her fun socks...
We met Sarah, Todd, and Brody at Grandma Emma's house for breakfast before the outing. Grandma Emma got out her high chair, so Maddie sat at the table to have breakfast with us...
Although she didn't get to enjoy any of the delicious donuts, she had fun playing with her new toys...
After filling our bellies, we headed to the Schaake family pumpkin patch in Lawrence. It's a great place that I would highly recommend. There is no admission fee, and they give you free hay rack rides out to the pumpkin patch...
Where there are TONS of pumpkins so you can find the perfect one...
Due to the fact that we haven't had rain for a really long time, it was incredibly dry and dusty, and the windy day only made it worse, but we still had fun...
We found a nice Maddie size pumpkin. We were planning on taking a cute picture of her sitting on it in the field, but she decided that the Baby Bjorn was a comfy place to take a nap...
She did wake up for a few minutes, but she didn't seem too inclined to be taken out of her comfy spot cuddled up against her daddy...
Group shot as we headed back with our pumpkins...
They have over 20 varieties of pumpkins in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and the price seemed pretty reasonable as well. After getting apple cider slushes, we watched Brody play on the playground equipment for a while before heading home. Now, I'm just hoping the puppy dogs don't decide to eat Maddie's pumpkin as they enjoyed feasting on the pumpkins we grew in the garden last year...
