Happy Thanksgiving!

Sooo many things to be thankful for this year. We like to decorate with lots of pumpkins or as McB says "pump" around our house this time of year. Here is a shot of McB and dad playing with the "pumps" on our front porch. I'm sure they have plenty of bruises by now. They are often mistaken for a ball. Not sure we can use them to make anything tasty.

We visited the Medina Pumpkin Patch and mommy got accused of trying to smuggle out a pumpkin. Noooo...here is baby#2 making his or her debut. If you're really good, you can make out a little bit of the face next to the left hand in the 1st pic and hopefully everyone can make out the cute little feet in the 2nd pic.

McB mastered the hay maze real quick.

No, this is not really a pumpkin patch but the tall grass at cousin E's and C's house was very similar to traipsing through the hay pile at the end of the hay maze. 4 wheelers make it easier to get around. There's already an argument over who gets to drive/ride in front.

Sword fight! Cousin C found some straw and McB found a stick. Mom came to the rescue real quick.

McB got to travel with G'pa and G'ma to this pumpkin patch in Arlington without mom or dad.

Cousin Katybug got to go along too.

McB tried to teach her some of his horse handling skills.

Here are a few more shots from the Medina Pumpkin patch. McB got to explore the whole place with his best bud Giddy-up.

Last year we took all kinds of great pics of these two in the pumpkins. It was great b/c you could plop them down next to a pumpkin and get plenty of pics. This year we had to TRAP them in the middle of a huge pile of pumpkins and be REALLY fast with the camera....and then edit/crop the shots that were close to what we were aiming for. It's amazing how much they change in a year.

Now that is an adorable scare-crow...tongue and all.
