The Pumpkin Patch Adventure

I took Alyssa to a pumpkin patch last week with my Grandma. She thought it was great. She got to play in the dirt, run wild and I didn't even try to contain her.

If Lys could tell us what was really on her mind...
"I can pull this big wagon with 50 lbs of pumpkins all by my big girl self."
"See? I.... can.... do.....it....""Here I go!"
"See? All by my big girl self."
Saw it.
Wanted it.
Sat on it.
And, why not crawl through this really cool tunnel that my mom couldn't get me out of if I happened to get stuck, not knowing what could be under there. Spiders, snakes, rats. Heck, I'm brave! (ok, so I corralled her in a little, but seriously? crawling under ground? the kid has no fear!)

SO cute! She is a little ball of energy, isn't she! We missed you guys today, Katie needed someone to help her push the wheelbarrow. I think I have a broken back from hunching over!
