It's the Great Pumpkin, Courtney!

Today, Courtney and I headed out to the Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch out near Lake Arcadia. This is an area just east of where we live and takes maybe 20 minutes to get there. It's a beautiful drive and it feels like you've been in another state.  My best friend, Meredith, and her little boy Trey came with us. Courtney's Nana called and tagged along too.

The pumpkin patch was wonderful!  There is a petting zoo, hayride, corn maize, hay fort, tire swings, plenty of running space and picnic tables to stop and take a break. Courtney was a little hesitant and wanted nothing to do with any of the animals.  As she walked past the pigs, we got a "stinky, stinky".  We call this "Cautious Courtney" in our house!  Here are some pics of our time out in the country.

Courtney and me at the patch.


She loved pushing the swing. Didn't like sitting in it, but pushing it was fun!

Stopping to smell the flowers.

She took her time picking out just the right pumpkin.

Trying to decide on the best one.


This week was school picture day at Courtney's school. We worked with her a couple of days that when the photographer says, "Cheese!" that she shows her teeth.  The morning of her pictures, we got her dressed all cute and kept practicing. This is what she did for us.


We'll soon see if our trick worked!
