Pumpkin Patch Kids

As tradition would have it we took the girls to Cedar Hill Farm to visit the pumpkin patch and all the fun things the farm has to offer this time of year. Our digital camera battery charger has been MIA for awhile now but we remembered my Cannon EOS Rebel 2000 camera that I got as an awesome gift from my parents upon graduation from high school in - you guessed it, 2000. It takes film, something the girls will never fully grasp. Crazy isn't it? Ten years old and it still worked like a charm.

I had about 15 pictures left on this particular roll and we got some decent shots. Apparently I had some weird setting on though because the pictures kinda came out grainy as opposed to crisp. (I welcome any and all camera advice in the comment section!) It was different having to think about taking a picture instead of just snapping away like normal. The best part was definitely getting the pictures back - a little bit of Christmas morning excitement a la Walgreens.

To the pictures...
(In all fairness and full disclosure, there are a LOT of them)

Here is our owl and chick also known as Peyton and Grace (or Grace and Peyton).

My little cowgirls...

This ride lasted 8 seconds... literally.
(Mommy and Daddy were a tad miffed their $4 didn't stretch farther than one lap!)

Meanwhile, Rowan kept yelling "mush" as her "pony" (aka stroller) carted her around in luxury.

So sweet!

All three kiddos!

(Work it Rowan! The camera LOVES you!)

On we moved to the hayride out to the pumpkin patch. With our mouths full of dust from the tractor, it was pumpkins as far as the eye could see.

Look what we found!

Meanwhile, Rowan continues to work the camera (and Daddy!) amongst the pumpkins .

Before we left, the girls climbed on the hay bales so mommy could get a picture.

This is the shot (aka attitude) I got!
