Pumpkin Picking

Due to my busy schedule and the ridiculous amount of videos this week, I’m a little late getting this up….. Sorry!
This week was fun getting adjusted to having Grammy here. Parker is walking more and more everyday. She’s getting very brave. Jared finally got a video of her standing up and taking a few steps!! She also has started shaking her head “no” a lot and we were able to get some videos of her doing that.
On Saturday we took Parker to Monkey Joe’s to play. Jackson and his family met us there. At first she wasn’t real sure about the place but then she started having fun. It didn’t take long for her to get tired, though, and then she pretty much hated everything about the place. Later that day we took her to the Lexington BBQ Festival with Jackson and Brody and their families. It was a lot of fried food and not much BBQ. It was something different for us all to do with the babies but it wasn’t quite what we expected.
On Sunday we took Parker to pick her first pumpkin. We went to Carrigan Farms and went on a hayride to a petting zoo first. Parker liked touching and feeding the animals. Then the hayride took us to a pumpkin patch where we each got to pick a pumpkin. Parker thought the pumpkins were really funny. Unfortunately we didn’t realize how cold it was going to be and we didn’t bring Parker a jacket or sweater so we had to try to keep her wrapped in a blanket. Mostly she looked like she was freezing. We ran into Jackson and his fam on the way out and got some cute pictures of the kids.
We came home Sunday night and Jared and I carved our pumpkins. Parker got to get her hands all dirty playing with the “pumpkin guts.” Then Jared and I got to go on a date! We went to dinner and a movie. It was nice to get away:)
Here are our pictures and then Grammy’s pictures from the week:
