Pumpkin Patch

Tuesday the girls and I joined their classmates for the annual field trip to Legare Farms.  We enjoyed a hayride, feeding the animals, and, of course, picking out pumpkins.   DSC_0003-1 Lily heading off to fun with her classmates. DSC_0006-1      DSC_0015 DSC_0017 Notice Lily’s friend, E, with her arm around Lily.  She has become Lily’s protector.  I watched all morning as she convinced Lily to not be scared and stayed very close to her side.  Last year, Lily would come home and say, “Mommy I couldn’t turn on the light to the bathroom, but E helped me.”      DSC_0025Checkout the two peas in a pod.  Lily and Porter made sure to stay dead center of the wagon as far away from cows as possible.       DSC_0036Sarah Ellen wasn’t going to stay away from the action.DSC_0039 DSC_0045DSC_0013-1Olivia just looking for trouble. DSC_0066I have to keep my eye on Sarah Ellen.  I’m glad she didn’t get any fingers nipped off.DSC_0057If you were there in person, you would realize just how funny this picture is.  Lily was standing by the gate with her friends when an animal did something to spook her (and by something, it could have been just blinking – it doesn’t take much).  This is her getting the heck out of dodge.   DSC_0075No worries, E made sure she was okay.  DSC_0076    DSC_0087 DSC_0088DSC_0091Then came time to pick our pumpkins.  Sarah Ellen found just the perfect one.  DSC_0094 It must be heavy.DSC_0103IMG_3353Alison followed Lily and Porter as they insisted on finding their pumpkin at the farthest end of the field.  How is this for picture perfect?

I needed a laugh this morning. Lily is so much like her Mamma!

Enjoyed the pics! Those girls are growing up so fast! Sarah Ellen's facial expressions crack me up so much! She and Elliot are two peas in a pod!
