Pumpkin Patch

This weekend all of Connor and Kaitlynn's little cousins met up in East Texas for our annual fall cousins' weekend. In total there are 9 cousins age 10 and under so you can imagine how chaotic it gets when we are all together!

Our first order of business for our visit was the pumpkin patch at a local church. After weeks of planning and coordinating efforts to arrange the perfect cousins' photo, imagine our surprise when it actually worked:



Yep, that's all 9 of the cousins in coordinating shirts and hairbows. Connor is the only boy, #5, sandwiched right in the middle of all those girls! I can't tell you how many times we said "Poor Connor!" this weekend.

The pumpkin patch was so much fun. We got lots of cute pictures of the cousins, including this one.



All of the cousins decorated cookies, including Kaitlynn. She just thinks she's one of the big girls so you'd never know she's #8 in the lineup.



Some of the cousins also got to decorate pumpkins.



And we all had fun on the hayride.



More pics to come from our fun cousins' weekend!

    Oh my gosh! I LOVE the shirts. What a neat idea. And the coordinating hairbows. How fun! This is such a neat tradition that the cousins will always remember. And I'm sure your parents just love it. Looks like you guys had a great time at the pumpkin patch.

    Now that is a cute idea. I love the coordinating shirts. What a fun tradition for all the cousins. I still can't believe Connor is the only boy out of all those kiddos! Poor Connor is right! The kids are going to have such fun memories of their annual cousins weekend!

    What great pictures! It was amazing to actually get them all lined up (and still) long enough for the memorable picture session! It was very funny to see all the attention our group was getting and that some people were ACTUALLY asking if they were all brother/sisters!!!!! MeMe
