Cousins and Pumpkins

(Thomas, Cora, Lincoln, Brigham, Kate, Christian, Lauren, Sophie & Lydia)

My sister Marisa and her kids came up for a visit last Saturday.  We decided to go to a local pumpkin patch that is not too far from our home.   I had never been to a "pick your own pumpkin" patch before.  It was so much prettier than I had expected.  The wind was blowing like crazy, but we all had a great time.

We love living close enough to Marisa and her kids that we can enjoy a day like this together!!  I will say however, that Marisa and I are quick to point out that this distance does not count as "living close."  One day Marisa...one day.  Marisa also celebrated her 40th birthday with us.  Happy 40th Marisa!
