Slack Family

It was my first time at a pumpkin patch! And I took along some new friends. Or did they take me? Either way, I met up with the Slack family for some good ol' fall fun at Motley's Pumpkin Patch. Arkansas Fall weather...that means by the time we were ready to go home it was 83 degrees! Ha. But the warm weather didn't keep us from enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

Like any good mom and dad the day quickly became all about little Zoey. She was a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff to do: barn yard animals, swings and slides, lay bail mountains, pumpkins, hay rides and even pig races! Oh yes, you heard me. Pig races. It's like I was living in Charlotte's Web for a minute. But after we all got our bearings we started on our epic quest: finding Zoey the perfect pumpkin.

After a little pumpkin hunting Zoey got majorly distracted by the hay bail mountain (with slide and tunnel). But who can blame her? It was a child's paradise! And she is only two. So... she wasn't that into taking pictures. How did we fix it.... Dad to the rescue!

He buttered her up, like only dad's can and we were able to get some beautiful photos...but only after everyone participated in the awesome straw fight. Needless to say we spent the rest of the shoot picking straw out of our hair and clothes. But how much fun was that?! And the Slack's will have the pictures forever to remember Zoey's first straw explosion. It's a good thing none of us had hay fever!
