The Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we decided to take Claire to the pumpkin patch. Daddy being the Halloween fanatic that he is, already had purchased our carving pumpkins but we wanted Claire to have the full experience and Burger Farm has a puppet show, Pumpkin Land, hay rides, and farm animals. We thought we would take advantage of having the whole weekend off and also show One and Marine what Halloween is all about. Unfortunately, Claire skipped her morning nap and just got a twenty minute snooze on the way to the patch. We couldn't get her to smile for anything. She seemed so apathetic with the puppet show, animals, and pumpkins. On the return trip on the hayride she officially fell asleep. Poor thing! You can tell how tired she is in most of the pictures; I am just glad she looked up for a couple of them.

She was much perkier after a two hour nap. We took turns playing with her while we all ate dinner and carved some pretty fancy pumpkins. I think we are getting better at it, though the pumpkins Marine and One carved look really awesome, too.
