Pumpkin Patch part 1

You can ask Keri about how I am when October rolls around.  I start scouting the weather reports for good weekend weather and start fantasizing about crisp sunny weekend visits to the pumpkin patches.  Well, you can imagine my dismay when I found out that my favorite pumpkin patch, Fall City Farms, was closed down (retirement or some crazy reason).  Fall City Farms did not take into account how I have been there for the past two years and taken the same poses with Mayson each time.  They didn't know that we had Gray now and since he was born I fully intended to put him next to the same "Pumpkin" sign that I had used to pose Mayson.  I had envisioned a whole lifetime of pictures of the kids growing up next to that sign.  Anyway, I had to adapt.  I looked at some reviews and found that Oxbow Farms was supposed to be low key just like Fall City, so I packed everyone up at the first hint of sunshine.  It was a beautiful day.  Totally clear and sunny.  But a little too low key: no cute signs or farmhouses, no donuts or cider, or cute little hay maze.  But I made the best of it. And Gray made the best of it.  Mayson was a little grumpy about my requests for poses (who can blame her as I constantly stick the camera in her face), but Gray stepped up like a champ.  Here's the pictures of him loving every minute in the beautiful sunshine.
