More pumpkin fun

On Sunday, October 5, I ran in the 3rd annual Bringinf Up The Rear 5k. I had planned on running solo, but at the last minute Joseph decided he wanted to run too. Which meant of course Maddie wanted to come along. 

Joseph did great for the first mile and a bit, only stopping for a quick water break and to shed some layers. But after about 1.3 miles, he decided he was finished and wanted to ride. With Maddie. In the single stroller. No PR for me! But that's ok, I enjoy being able to involve the kids in some races so they have fun and see why Joe and I do it. 

After the pancake breakfast that is a part of the race, we decided to go pumpkin picking. Since we didn't have a lot of time, I wanted to check out a place a bit closer to our house and that I thought has less "extra stuff" to do. We picked Pumpkins, Etc and it was perfect!

They breed kittens that wander the farm and Maddie fell in love. Joseph was intrigued but less crazy about them. Luckily our kids haven't entered the phase of "can we take them home with us, please!!!" So it wasn't too painful!

Joe didn't mind the time getting to play with kittens, either. Seemed right at home!

Eventually we were able to move the kids away to take a quick picture and pick out a few pumpkins. 

The haul-not too shabby! We will definitely be back next year!
