Our family has a fairly new tradition. Each year since we have been in Texas (with the exception of last year), Granny and Grandpa have come in town, and we have gone to the pumpkin patch. This year was no different. We have an awesome one real close to us in Grapevine, TX. Not only are there thousands of pumpkins, but they have a corn field maze that you can do in daylight or in the dark by flashlight. If your not that adventurous, they also have a miniature maze made out of hay bails that the kids, or scared adults, can do. Jordan was a pro at the maze so he took on the job of showing Austin the way.
In addition to the mazes they also have a house made out of hay. Complete with a front door and side windows. This has always been one of Jordan's favorite parts. He ran right in and found a pumpkin. Not caring how big it was, he picked it up and posed in the window.
This year was a whole new experience for us. My brother Chris and his wife Katherine moved to North Texas in August. We had a blast! Granny and Grandpa were excited to have all 3 of the grand kids in the same place at the same time. In years past it has been hard to do. We stopped and they held the kids down long enough to get a picture.
After that we decided this would be a good time to take some Carlisle and Cotter family pictures
Dad took a picture of Chris and I. Its been a very long time since we've had one. Usually one of us is holding the camera.
What a fun weekend! The kids all had a blast. Jordan and Austin in the hay house and Audrey playing in the pumpkins.

That was a fun day with the family.
