Ebert's Pumpkin Patch 2012

Today my Preschoolers went on our annual trip to Ebert's pumpkin patch.

My weatherman, Charlie Shortino predicted cold weather and winds.

I tried my best to prepare myself.  I dug out the gloves and a hat, I dressed in layers.

I was ready to face the elements.

But much to my surprise, it was a beautiful fall day with lots of sun and cool crisp air, a near perfect day to pick pumpkins.

 

I don't even know how many pumpkin patch trips I have made to Ebert's over the years both with St. John's and with Mary Linsmeier.  I am guessing at least 20.

 

As I say each year, it was the best trip ever.

I had great parents along as chaperones.

The kids were well behaved and happy.

Ebert's has made many improments and the trip just gets better each year.

 

I have many photos, but I am only posting this one to my blog here.

I love this picture and I think it speaks volumes.

This little boy is the fifth of six children and just look how much his dad is enjoying their time together.

Such a special time when parents come along on this trip and just step back and enjoy the moments with their little ones.

 

It makes me happy to see this photo, I hope you enjoy it, too.
