Pumpkin Patch Adventure!

After reading my friend Jen's pumpkin patch blog and seeing all of the pictures of her adorable daughter Riley, I went on the hunt for a pumpkin patch here on Oahu....and I found one! So after Nick got back from Boise, we went half way across the island to look at pumpkins....Daniel fell asleep on the way to get Nick- but when he woke up he was first soooo excited to see his daddy- and then he was so excited to see a field full of orange "balls".... My friend Jen thought she took too many pictures at their pumpkin patch- i decided to follow her lead- here are a few that I tried to narrow down!





Here is one that Daniel found that was just his size- (the first one he found that was this size, turned out to be rotten, and crumbled when he touched it- yuck)



Daniel and daddy looking for the perfect pumpkin.



Daddy wanted to teach Daniel to play some of the carnival games- he thought he would enjoy this one that you throw ball into the cup to win a prize- only problem was that he didn't want a prize- he just wanted to keep the balls that you were supposed to throw.








Daniel took his first pony ride at the pumpkin patch- he had fun- we were not even sure if he would stay on- or just want to get off right away- but he seemed to like it- they took two laps- he lasted for one- then wanted to get off...



One of Daniel's favorite spots in the whole pumpkin patch was this area where there were a bunch of already picked pumpkins and you could take pictures...he just sat there happy as could be playing with, hitting and sitting on all the pumpkins.






Finally we ended the day with a hay ride. We all had fun- it was a nice day for us to spend all together!

So, it's 9a.m. in TX meaning you are fast asleep in your little paradise! I had to write because I just got sooo excited thinking about this new little sweet baby Rolo! We are traveling today...but I'll try to call you later. Just wanted you to know you all were on my mind.
