Snaps from the Melon Patch

For the record, the PostSecret post was tons of fun and I became obsessed with checking the comments repeatedly for new "secrets" over the weekend. Feel free to keep posting on there if you want to and we'll do it again sometime in the months to come! Fun, fun!

On Saturday after my senior session, we took the kids to the local Pumpkin Patch for some much anticipated "punkin" picking. Owen has asked when we were going to go the Punkin Patch no less than 273 times a day for the last 3 weeks. I couldn't justify going until it felt like Fall. And joy!! Saturday morning dawned bright and COLD! We wore sweaters and sweatshirts, people! Sweaters and sweatshirts thank you Jesus for autumn in the south - finally!! :)

Here's a few snapshots from our day.......

Shooting corn cobs out of a compressed air gun at a pumpkin target. I don't understand the allure - maybe it's a southern thing.

Lovely.

The "scary tunnel"....Owen tightly gripped our hands like a vice while repeatedly assuring AJ: "it's okay AJ - it's not scary. See, it's just pretend"

And the classic "kids amid the pumpkins" shot that everyone must obtain every fall.

Happy Autumn!
