A fun day in Lawrence

Yesterday we drove up to Lawrence to see our friends, Mandy, Will and MK. Craig was off truckin' over some rocks, so he missed out on all of the fun. We spent the first half of the day watching Pele and Pele, Jr. play soccer. Now L wants to join them!! We had a wonderful lunch and headed out to the pumpkin patch. You may ask, why drive 150 miles to go get a pumpkin? Well, it's the Schaake pumpkin patch, a place I've gone to my entire life and went to school and did 4H with the Schaake girls, so it has lots of memories for me. Since we were early this year, it wasn't really crowded and there were lots of pumpkins to pick from.
The girls each found a little pumpkin they could hold themselves. They loved running around, but it was awfully dusty and dry out there.
After picking all of our pumpkins, we sat in the snack area and feasted on apple cider slushes, homemade chocolate chip cookies and popcorn.
As a tradition, L gets her picture taken to measure her. This was the first year that she didn't have a meltdown when we were there (we usually go at naptime).
Posing together for a nice family picture. It was so nice outside...sunny and not too hot.
My favorite picture of the day. Labeled, 'Scary Faces'.

She kind of looks like she's on the verge of a meltdown in that measuring photo.

Glad you had fun! See you next week!
