Recap of pumpkin patch visits 2, 3, and 4.
It's not as extreme as it sounds, I promise. :)
Round 2 didn't even actually exist. I was really excited to check out a brand new pumpkin patch in our town. Their website was boasting about their 13 acre "farm" with pumpkins galore, hayrides, petting zoo, the whole sha-bang. So we decided to check it out. Instead of pulling up to an actual farm, we pulled up to a wooded patch of land that has been somewhat cleared out and only has a few pumpkins scattered about. There was a small petting zoo and a tractor ride thing, but that's about it. And they were charging $7 per person! Um, fail. We didn't even get Liam out of the car seat before we decided to just leave.

Round 3 was more like a pumpkin stand with a hay bail maze and a little area for pictures. But they did have a good selection of pumpkins and gourds so we took a few pictures and stocked up on goodies for the front porch. I really didn't care to get a ton of photos; Liam just looked SO adorable in his jean overalls that I couldn't resist a few!

On our way home, my friend Nicole texted me and said her and her family were at our neighborhood fall festival so we decided to stop by and say hi!
Her two little ones, Gregory and Addison, giving the firefighter high fives! Oh, and Nicole will have her third by Sunday at the latest. Yay! Come on, Emma!
Mmm, cotton candy!

Monday morning Will took the day off and we headed to the Dallas Arboretum. They have a huge pumpkin display every year and it is gorgeous! This year's theme was Cinderella. We had hoped to get some family pictures and even brought our tripod along, but it was insanely packed with moms and babies so we didn't even bother.
We sure got some cute pictures of our little pumpkin though!
This picture cracks me up. I have a feeling I will be seeing a lot of this "fake" smile when he's older and doesn't want his picture taken!
We had a quick meal and a diaper/wardrobe change before round two!
This really nice woman stopped us and offered to take some pictures, so we did end up getting some family shots after all! I just love nice people :)
