Our Journey So Far . . .

All-righty, this is gonna be quite a photo bomb. :) I didn't realize until I uploaded my photos just how many I had taken. It was a beautiful day to be outside at the pumpkin patch and the boys had a blast. It's crazy how fearless Nolan is in new places--he took off as soon as his feet hit the dirt and never stopped moving and smiling and screeching. Garrett knew what to expect since he's been there the past two years and he had more fun than ever before. He did the hay bale mazes and climbed on the playground. He even wanted to go on the merry-go-round! You'll see from the pictures just how much the boys loved our traditional family outing. I wish I could get the two of them to hold still at the same time so I could get a good picture of both of them. Someday! Until then, I'll keep taking hundreds of photos so we can look back and remember these sweet moments for a long, long time.

Like I said, Nolan was excited to be out of the car and running up to hug all the cut-outs.

Small hay bale maze...complete!

We didn't have much success with the growth chart this year. Garrett didn't like having the sun in his eyes and Nolan did NOT want to be still. You can see how he flung himself to the ground after I attempted to hold him still.

"We're innocent!!"

Sometimes, you just have to do whatever it takes to catch the children.

BOUNCING!! Nolan loooooved the bounce house. Seriously, no fear in this one.

Nolan really enjoyed rearranging the pumpkins. Pick one up, put it down. And repeat.

You can barely see the top of his blonde little noggin here, but Garrett tackled the big kid hay bale maze like a champ.

At the end of the hay bale maze...

...he just said, "No more pictures, Mommy. I don't like that."

Nolan wanted to go down this big blow-up slide so I decided to brave it with him. He was loving every second of it, while I was a little bit more nervous about the slide deflating when we were at the top and suddenly surrounded by 10 kids all jumping around.
