Pumpkins and.....Rainbows??

Check out this shot from our backyard.
I got to see my first rainbow.
Look closely and you can see a second rainbow!
Think I will find a pot of gold behind my swing set?

Sitting "pretty"
Always giving mama a hard time
(I was actually a little nervous on the hayride)

What about this pumpkin?

Maybe this one is more my size

We got 3 nice BIG pumpkins totaling 71 lbs!!

-We took advantage of this beautiful fall day and headed to the pumpkin patch! Brooks was really excited to pick out a pumpkin....that was until he realized he had to take a hayride to the patch. It is so funny...he is ALL about tractors, but when encountering a big, loud tractor that he was actually going to RIDE behind....he got scared. He was not too sure about the hayride. But, with some reassurance and other kids to distract him.....he did great. We found 3 "perfect" pumpkins. Josh always looks for the biggest and roundest pumpkin and I always look for the more unique shaped or stemmed pumpkin. I am all about the stems for some reason. ---Brooks also got to see Cousin Cassidy play soccer later in the day. He really enjoyed running around, kicking the ball, and cheering on Cassidy. He even got to hear a real LOUD choo-choo train passing right by the fields. After getting over some nervousness, he was super excited to hear it pass by another 4 times! What a day.....pumpkins, soccer, tractors and trains...oh my!
-On a side note...the first posted picture was taken last Sunday from our back porch. The double rainbow is so beautiful and looks like it ends just on the other side of the neighbor's yard. Some things are just so breath-taking no matter how many times you see it.
