Pumpkin Patch, Then and Now

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with the Scotts.  It's hard to believe it's been a year since we went!  My, how things have changed! 

First we painted pumpkins (here's a little "Then and Now" for you!)

                                                Now                                                   Then

Then we took some pictures by the silo.

    Now                                              Then

After that, we used the beautiful pumpkins and scenery to get some good pictures.

 Now                                              Then

We did a few things this year that we didn't do last year, like watch the animals:

 Mason was most content watching safely from the other side of the fence...

And we played tetherball:

We had fun, but couldn't help but think of how things have changed in one short year!  Mason has very much developed his own personality and temperament, and he has become so independent!  He wants to do everything on his own, thank you very much!  It's fun to watch him explore and be adventurous, but it leaves mommy and daddy needing a nap!
