Pumpkins, Apples & Raspberries

I'm a little late in getting this posting up, but wanted to share a couple of pictures from our trip to the Pumpkin Patch & Apple Orchard a couple of weekends ago.

While Daddy was playing golf with his NCC alumni buddies, Sammy & Mommy made a trip up 'North' to Loves Park to visit Aunt Judy, Aunt Jackie, Jenn, Dave, Emma & Isaac. Joining us on the adventure was Grandma Nancy, Aunt Mimi, Jojo & Uncle Andy. The first stop was the pumpkin patch...where Sam picked out his pumpkin within 2 minutes of entering and wanted to hold it the rest of the time. Here is a picture of Sam walking through the patch carrying his favorite pumpkin, which now sits proudly in our kitchen :)

You can't go to the pumpkin patch without getting one picture of your head through a wooden cut out :) Here is a cute one of the little pumpkins:
Next, it was on to the apple orchard. In addition to apples, the orchard also had 'Pick your own Raspberries', which happens to be one of Sams FAVORITE things to do whenever he visits Grandpa Swain....Grandpa has also taught Sam that you only pick the red ones :) Here are a few of my favorites of the weekend...Sam & his cousin Emma picking the raspberries and then enjoying a walk through the raspberries:
