We had a great time as a family Saturday going to the local Pumpkin Patch. A tradition we started is to go out to breakfast first. We enjoyed pumpkin pancakes and eggs at IHOP. Yum! It's nice not having to cook, especially when we all woke up at 5:30 a.m. due to Gavin screaming. 
The day was beautiful and sunny -- perfect to be outdoors with the kids. Annika has been looking forward to the tractor ride at the pumpkin patch so we rode twice. She loves the bumps and jolts. As we circled around in the tractor, we searched for the right pumpkins to take home. Instead of trying to find the biggest pumpkins, Annika was on a hunt for the smallest. We allowed her to pick hers and Gavin's. Then Mom and Dad chose a bit bigger. I don't think Annika was too happy with our choices. We were pretty muddy and tired afterward, so we all took naps when we got home. I think that was my favorite part of the day. These days sleep is a rare treat for me!
I guess IHOP wasn't enough for Gavin.
That sounds like a fun tradition. Cute pictures too.
