Pumpkin Patch

I like the idea of taking my kids to the pumpkin patch, until I get there then I worry. Let me explain- the patch is huge! And I worry that they will run off and in two different directions and leave me yelling at them to come back. Which is exactly what they did. Oh well, I just have to realize other kids get so excited they can't control themselves and have to explore to right?

This pumpkin patch has fun cut outs that you put your faces in, my boys were willing to do this so that I could take a picture. I thought about how Garrett has no idea what these huge wood boards are and he is just doing what his big brother is doing. Cracks me up!

Cute huh? I have many more....

There are tons of pumpkins already picked and laying around or you can go out and get your own. Its up to you. We explored both options.


Garrett is still exploring, Brady is smiling for me hoping I will put that dang camera away! No chance buddy you guys are to cute out there.

Garrett is always doing what his older brother is doing. I am starting to teach Brady he has to set a good example for his younger brother, but its an uphill battle. Isn't that a cool white pumpkin Garrett is sitting next to? They have all kinds at the pumpkin patch. They also give tractor rides which we were going to go on until Garrett decided to jump/fall into a mud puddle and got mud on his face, hands, shirt, pants and shoes. Then I decided we'd better head home to get him into a bath.

As much as I love spring, fall has become a favorite time of year for me as well, I love the way leaves turn bright colors, and how crisp the air gets. I am getting ready to hunker down for winter and need these last few weeks to get outside. I hope the cold creeps in slow this fall and we get a little while longer to enjoy this weather.
