Pleasant time in the pumpkin patch

We had a family outing to the pumpkin patch event in Aberdeen on Sunday -- such a very nice event, great fun for the kids and completely free (though donations are welcome, of course). I tried for some lovely pictures of the kids, and I think I got at least one worth framing:

It's still not perfect, but it's tough to compose an ideal picture with two young children. And they're cute enough that it makes up for some lack of compositional perfection!


Sofia had fun decorating her pumpkin. It was a project that required a lot of concentration quite a bit of time to complete -- hmm, I didn't take a picture of the finished pumpkin. Have to get that later. (I had to blur the background because the people walking by ruined the photo otherwise, and this photo had the best smile.)


Erik didn't really warm up to the event until we were almost ready to leave -- we interrupted his nap when we got there. But he had fun with the pumpkins for a little while, anyway.


The little lawn tractor-led train was popular with the kids. That's cousin Eliana in the rear, Sofia next, and cousins Viena and Amara next.

Sofi had to give a big smile to Eliana!

And here's the youngest cousin, Briella. What a little pixie!
