Catching up- Pumpkin Patch, Kansas City Style

Early last month we went to KC to visit Matt's Dad for a weekend.  We left Charlotte there for the week so she could spend some quality time with her grandparents.  She had a blast!  But before we left her, we spent a nice weekend in Parkville and the north country.  On Saturday, we checked out a pumpkin patch with a similar draw as Eckert's, but instead of an apple orchard and farm, it was like a big field with a pumpkin patch in it.  We never actually made it to the pumpkin patch because there was so much else to do.  Charlotte and Audrey didn't mind, though.  I just didn't tell them they missed out on pumpkins.  :)

They had these sign boards all over the place and you could win $50 by posting them on a facebook page, but I forgot to post ours.  Oops.

Doesn't Audrey make a cute cow?

Beating each other with said sticks

The sandbox was a huge hit.


Rubber duck races with Grandpa


Riding the wooden train.  Like Audrey's shiner? She is such a clutch.  I swear that girl's face either has a bruise, cut or food on it at any given time.  I don't even remember how she got that one.  That might be the header into the coffee table.

Charlotte had a blast in this thing.  She must've run through it at least 10 times  before I made her move on to something else.

Yay, Audrey!

Charlotte running to the end.  She turned right back into the entrance without slowing down.  She was a maniac!


An after lunch treat- pumpkin cookies!  These same pumpkin cookies were eaten in the car during a trip to my parents house when the girls decided they were starving because we never feed them and needed something rightthisveryminute or they would die so I dug through the diaper bag and found one of these cookies wrapped in plastic wrap 3 WEEKS LATER.  Whatever.  They stopped crying and the cookie wasn't wasted.

Fun times with Grandpa and Grandma!

Here, Mom, would you like a bite?

Don't get any ideas, Mom.  I'm not sharing this cookie with anybody- I've got my eye on you.

Ready to get her ticket punched for the train ride.

Audrey clearly enjoying her cookie.

The last good picture I took before my battery died.  We went home shortly after.  We went on a hike the next day, but it just occurred to me as I was typing this that I took pictures on our other camera, but I have no idea where that camera is at this moment, so I'll have to find and post them later.  Maybe.  Unless I get distracted.  Or forget.
