For the past who knows how many years, I have taken the girls to this great pumpkin patch in Flower Mound. We started this tradition with our playgroup and would go on a school holiday. And since Aunt Katie and Landon were on our way out to the Pumpkin Patch, most years they came, too! This year, we weren't going to be able to go during the week, so we decided to plan a weekend trip. And the great added bonus: Daddies got to come too! It was fun getting to do this with both of our families - especially since we got to introduce Baby Carter to the Pumpkin Patch.

There is a cute pumpkin house with all these little pumpkins lining the walls. The kids decided to load Uncle Neil down with more than he could hold. They thought it was a hilarious game!
Besides Pumpkins, this place has bounce houses, hay rides and a train!
Meredith and Landon teamed up in one car.
Jillian was a little sad to be left out, but Uncle Neil came to her rescue and she was super excited for the extra time with him.
My biggest goal of the Pumpkin Patch day is always a cute pic of the kids on the pumpkins. It usually is a disaster (with one or both of my children crying - then if you add in a cousin or two, you know how that is going to turn out!) This year, I was pleasantly surprised!
Cousin photo! And all 4 are looking at the camera and smiling! Winner!
Just my girlies
And we of course utilized having Aunt Katie around to take a picture of the whole family
There are also tons of fun wooden cutouts for photo ops. This one is one we do every year - so fun to see them as they grow!
How did she get so tall?
Jillian too?
Pumpkin Patch-ing can work up an appetite, so we headed to Mooyah for dinner - the kids spent most of the time writing on the chalkboard and getting covered in chalk.
This might be the start to a new tradition!
