The Pumpkin Patch

Each year we head to the pumpkin patch the first day it's open in October.  I love going this early because there are no school field trips planned so we pretty much have the place to ourselves.  This year we once again met some of our friends at Butler's Orchard.  Shauna came with us also.  Asher needed his first pumpkin patch experience even if he wouldn't remember it.  The day was beautiful.  We thought it would be muddy because we had just had several days of downpour, but it wasn't bad at all.  The sky we so blue and the trees and fields were so green.  Then you add in the perfect orange of the pumpkins and it was an amazingly color filled day.  We actually went twice in one day.  We went in the morning with Seth and some kids his age.  Then we went back in the afternoon.  It was a half day and we didn't want Tade to miss out.  He hasn't been able to go the past two years with him being in school.  So this year it worked out that we had enough time with the half day to go back.  Seth we more that happy to go on two hayrides in one day.

I found a good one.


Asher's outing to the pumpkin patch.  I think he slept the whole time.



Andelyne's first ride on a slide was a big one.




This is my one of my all time favorite holiday movies.

Back in the afternoon with big brother Tade.




Seth the pumpkins are supposed to be orange,  Good thing he already picked one out earlier in the day.

The didn't stop him from trying to sneak an extra one anyway.

 Tade found his perfect one.














My happy little pumpkin picker.

  1. You are so lucky to have so many fun orchards around you. We are definitely missing the fall feel. It's 80+ degrees everyday and so the thought of wearing a jacket is just unbearable. Enjoy a real fall for us.
