The Pumpkin Patch

Our trip to the pumpkin patch falls into the "Better Late Than Never" category. I've been trying to go for the last three weekends with our whole family and it just never has worked out. Today is a beautiful day and I decided to just take the boys by myself. I loaded them up and took them to the farm of one of my favorites from our local farmers' market which turned out to be a great choice. For one thing, the lady could be mother-in-law's twin and I always get a kick out of seeing her. Anyhow, the boys had so much fun on their trip out to the farm to get pumpkins.









So they had a good time with the pumpkins, but they actually spent a majority of the time playing with the rocks in the driveway and with the cat (you can't see the cat in the second picture but it is in the tarp).





It turned out to be a lot of work, taking the two of them there by myself so we didn't stay all that long. It was just off a busy road and every time Wyatt heard or saw a big truck go by, he would take off towards the road so he could see it. Umm, I don't think so Wyatt. We got a nice big pumpkin, perfect for carving, as well as some smaller pumpkins and gourds and even some pumpkin butter (soooo yummy). Trips out to the country always make me want to live there and this time was even worse with the boys running around and loving it. We will stay put for now but I am sure it will always be something we are thinking about.
