Pooley's Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday, we went to Pooley's Pumpkin Patch...Nai-Nai and Aunt Marla joined us as well. We went there for the first time last year and really liked it. Ayla was just a couple weeks old then and was asleep in the Baby Bjorn the whole time. It's a small family-owned place out in Bennington without the crazy crowds, lines, and prices of the bigger pumpkin patches in town. We're going to make it a tradition to go every year.


Ayla saw all kinds of things...chickens, pigs, goats, horses, cows...and of course, tons of pumpkins (or in her words--balls). While we were out in the pumpkin patch, she refused to be held...she wanted to check it all out for herself. She was NOT a happy girl once we got back on the hayrack. We even took a ride on the biggest tire swing I've ever seen. Fun stuff!

"I want these!"
Just about the entire time we were there, she had a hold of the little pumpkin she picked out

I love her little hat.

Have you considered photographing things professionally? Or are you already doing that?

Hope everything is well. This time of year makes me miss Omaha.

Rachael, I'm no pro, but if someone wants me to take some pictures, I'd do it! :) I really enjoy photography...just a fun hobby for now. :)

Hope you're doing well too...Mandy and I were just talking about how we need to be better at keeping in touch with you!

What place is that? You have to tell me where it is - we want to take Heidi - but don't want to battle the crowds...
