Autumn Backdrop

We were going to go to the pumpkin patch on saturday.... The ONLY reason I wanted to go was to take some pics of Mikey with pumpkins and fall scenery in the background. We are on the road to Spokane, WA (where the pumpkin patch is) we stop and ask for directions at a little fruit stand. The man that was working at the counter said that the pumpkins froze early for the season and the pumpkin patches were all closed down for the season already. I was really bummed! He had some pumpkins for sale there so we bought three of them and then drove around looking for a fall BACKDROP. LAME I KNOW! Well we went to this corn maze in Post Falls, ID but all they had was corn (imagine that!) so then we were leaving the corn maze and Mike spotted a coffee stand with a cute little backdrop. YES we did take pics in front of this along a VERY busy highway. We must have looked like the BIGGEST nerds! They probably thought we were from Athol, ID or something and never saw a coffee stand. Here are just a few pics.. Mikey HATED sitting on the bails of hay and was tired and hungry.. the look on his face describes how I felt!

We left from there to go to my parents house. It turns out that we could have just went to their house to begin with because they had the PERFECT thing.. leaves!! So we took pics underneath their willow tree with some leaves around him. Mike said that he is going to take more pics in our front yard so there might be more pics of that coming soon. Oh! I almost forgot to mention.. while I was at my parents my friend Sarah called and her sister went to the SAME pumpkin patch we were going to that day and it is still open.. no frozen pumpkins. Who knows maybe the guy was just saying that so we would buy his.. oh well! Maybe we will go this weekend if I haven't had the baby yet.
