In Need of a Break

This weekend Jim and I planned on heading to Omaha for a much needed break.  I have been working weekends non stop with photography and it was time to get away and have some time for ourselves.  We did something unusual and headed out on Friday night instead of nap time on Saturday morning.  I am not sure we will be doing that again.  Charlotte was so super ticked that it was her play time and she was confined to her car seat.  There was a whole lot of screaming...a WHOLE lot.  Not awesome.  Here was a rare moment of contentedness.

Saturday we went to one of my favorite places in the world...Vala's Pumpkin Patch!  We had my Mom come with us because she had actually never been there.  We had a fantastic time!  The weather was supposed to be iffy but it ended up being just beautiful and we spent a long afternoon doing about everything you can imagine...

Ate a sucker...

Checked ou a scarecrow...

Watched a dancing show...

Saw some bunnies...

Stood in line to ride the train.  Love this picture of all of us!

Got ready to depart the station...

Having fun...

Played on the train set...

Had fun with Gramma...

Peeked for the camera...

Played in a corn pool...

Squished a lady bug...

Had a snack... 

Pretended to be a farming cute family...

 Made friends with a goat...

 VERY good friends...

Even she can't believe she kissed him...

Rocked as a family...

And with Gramma...

Drank frozen apple cider...

 And at the end of the day, we got her to begrudgingly stand by the "how tall this fall" sign...

We followed up the pumpkin patch by heading to Nettie's and meeting my Dad for some delicious, allbeit greasy, mexican food.  So yummy!

It was an absolutely perfect day!
