Pumpkin Patch

I have been bugging Shawn for the last couple weeks to go to the pumpkin patch. He's been really busy, but found some time this last Friday to go with us. We would have gone to the pumpkin patch we went to last year until we heard of one that had a train. A train? There was no question about where we were going this year. Lakeview Pumpkin patch… and it was awesome!

We went on a good day, there were probably 5 people there… including us! It was great. We bought our tickets and boarded a ferry which took us across a lake. There was even a shark and a lochness monster that came out of the water. I wish I would have gotten a picture, but I was too busy consoling Grant who thought they were real.

The ferry brought us over to a massive field of pumpkins… look at 'em all!

I won't have you be fooled, though. The majority of them were rotten. And Reagan pointed out every single soiled one to us and said "CAH-CAH".

The kids were able to find some good ones.

Here is Jefferson with his pumpkin… he had to use 2 hands to hold it.

Shawn put her down to take this picture with me…. She was NOT happy!

After we picked out our pumpkins, the kids spent some time running through this haystack maze. They really enjoyed it.

For those of you who missed it, I zoomed in on this picture to catch a glimpse of this wonderful smile of his. These are rare to find. Trip worth while… evidenced here!

Then we hopped on the train and it took us back.

And we pet some farm animals before heading home…

I love fall! I love going to the pumpkin patch. This is one of my favorite family traditions. I love that the kids got completely muddy head to toe and I had to do a load of laundry when we got home. You won't hear me saying that ever again… until next fall at least!
