The Pumpkin Patch!

Last Sunday we braved the wet weather and kept our fingers crossed that it wouldn't start raining again, and headed to a pumpkin patch that we had never been to before (can't remember the name of it though!). On the way there, Brett loved pointing out the big pumpkin signs that led us to our destination, and his excitement was contagious!  It ended up being a perfect afternoon full of lots of fun!!

The first thing we did when we got there was check out the straw play area. As you can tell by the smile on Brett's face, the slide was his favorite part :-)

I love this picture of my boys :-)

There weren't many people there that day, so Brett had lots of room to run!


After that we visited with the farm animals (chickens, goats, sheep, etc), and then jumped on the wagon for a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. There were so many to choose from, and you could get any size for only $5!

As soon as we got off the wagon, Brett spotted this teeny tiny pumpkin and instantly decided that was the one he wanted....because "it's just my size, mommy!". 

My smiling boy with his little pumpkin :-) He was proud of it, can you tell?

Me and my sweet boy :-)

Brett had just slid down the pumpkin behind him, declaring "See, it's like a slide!"

Kyle searched and searched and finally found his perfect pumpkin.

Satisfied with their pumpkins, they carried them back to the wagon :-)


 One of the things that I loved about this place was all the activities for kids! They had a big tent full of many little pumpkins to choose from to decorate with paint and stickers. We spent a long time in there!


Pumpkin bowling was another huge hit! Brett was pretty good!


 The ring toss was super fun too! We all had to play!

We brought home two large pumpkins for carving and two smaller ones for painting. The weather was so warm and beautiful yesterday, it was a perfect day for this activity!





I heart fall :-) Definitely my favorite time of the year!!
