Perfect Pumpkin Picking


A couple weeks ago for FHE we headed down to the neighborhood pumpkin patch to get the halloween pumpkins. I know- a little late for posting, but it was cute after all!

We have this little family patch down the road with tons of pumpkins to choose from. The kids took FOREVER looking up and down rows of pumpkins to find the perfect one. Emitt settled on this one- he insisted he needed to "DO IT!!!!"- imagine this in a high pitched squeal and you will get the gist...

Tyse initially picked this one-



yup, bigger than his head and flat as the ground on one side. I think it was rotten. Luckily another caught his eye... and then another, and then another, and then another... you get the idea. He did finally settle on one. Ollie seemed happier riding in the wheelbarrow and trying to eat them...


We got a few and then headed over to the other festivities- a PERFECT sized corn maze for the little ones and then about 10 tractors of all different years for them to climb all over. Many of you know about my boys and tractors- they LOVE them, so I think we spent longer climbing on them than picking pumpkins!




Ollie isn't so into tractors yet- he preferred the corn.

Ooh, I love real pumpkin patches. Our pumpkin patch was found at Dan's Supermarket this year. But, we were successful anyway.

What would October be without the pumpkin patch. I love that place.

Those photos are adorable. What a fun time. We thought about taking the kids to a pumpkin patch, but the time has totally flown by. Maybe next year.
