The Pumpkin Patch


What is autumn in America without a trip to a pumpkin patch? Of course we had to take Aden and Wiley to pick out their own pumpkins. Yesterday evening the weather was beautiful, and according to the forecast, it could be our last opportunity to actually enjoy our trip to the pumpkin patch. So we coordinated our fall clothes for a family photo and headed out the door for Young's Dairy.

Wiley loved everything about the pumpkins. He liked to lay across them and see if he could get them to roll; he liked to crawl around them; he liked to hug them and see if he could pick them up. Aden had his eyes set on the tractors nearby, so once we had an acceptable family photo, he headed for the big machines. He tested them out and we took more photos, then the boys each picked out a pumpkin. Mommy and Daddy picked out a bigger pumpkin, and we spent some time looking at all the animals - goats, a sheep, a turkey, cows, chickens, and ducks.

We hope Aden and Wiley enjoy carving (or watching the carving) and decorating the pumpkins as much as they enjoyed the pumpkin patch.
