Pumpkin Patches!

This past Sunday, we made the trip to two different pumpkin patches! Last year, we took Chloe to Uncle Shuck's in Dawsonville, but she was only 6 months old. So, this year really seemed like her first "pumpkin patch experience" :) We decided to make the haul up to Burt's Farm for the first time . Neither Jeremy or I had ever been there before, but we always hear great things about it. Minus the long car ride and traffic coming in, it was awesome! Chloe absolutely loved all the pumpkins, and couldn't get her hands on enough of them! :)

This was the first pumpkin Chloe saw when we arrived, and she ran to pick it up. Daddy had to help her lift it...even though it looked small, it was actually pretty heavy.



We couldn't believe how many HUGE pumpkins they had for sale. Chloe enjoyed tapping on them and running around them.



Where's the stem???



They had all kinds of mini pumpkins, squash, gourds and indian corn. Chloe loved picking it all up. Even though she had never seen anything like them before, she wanted to touch EVERYTHING!









Fun on the tractor with Daddy!



Our little family :)



On the ride home, we stopped at Uncle Shuck's since it wasn't too crowded. Uncle Shuck's has the cutest little toddler area with a mini corn maze, mini cut-outs for photo ops, and a big corn shaped growth chart!

The mini maze was super cute, but a tad bit muddy from all the rain we've had lately!



2+ feet of cuteness!



For the ride home, we bought grilled corn, boiled peanuts and 3 more mini pumpkins for Chloe. She lasted maybe 5 minutes in the car before sacking out :)





We had such a great day. It is always so neat to see Chloe's eyes light up as she discovers new things for the first time!

Dedication!

On Sunday, Sept. 20th, we had Chloe's parent-child dedication at our church, Crosspointe. It was the sweetest little ceremony and we were so thankful that all of Chloe's aunts, uncles, grandparents and almost all of her great grandparents were able to attend. The ceremony was a time of prayer for Chloe, and a time for Jeremy and I to dedicate her and ourselves to the Lord, with the promise of raising her to know and love Him.

Daddy was dancing with her in the lobby of our church to cheer her up (this girl is not a fan of crowds :)

Thank you to everyone who came to be there for our family. It was such a special day and meant so much to us!
