The Pumpkin Patch

As I have said before, I love fall!  I love the cooler weather, the crisp air, apples, pumpkins, long sleeves, football, soups—you get the idea!  One of my favorite things to do is take the kids to the pumpkin patch.  There is a nice one in a neighboring town.  The prices are reasonable and they take you into the patch on a hay ride!  Doesn’t get much better than that!  I didn’t get too many pictures because I didn’t want to fall off!

We were the only people there!  The weather was perfect and there were many, many pumpkins to choose from.

Each kid got to pick 4 pumpkins for themselves and one for Nora.  It was fun scouting out the best pumpkin.  The worker gave us pruning shears to get the pumpkin off the vine.  Corban was in heaven having to do the work himself!

Brynn went for the oddly shaped pumpkins!  She found some very weird ones!

Nora wasn’t sure what to make of all of this.  She isn’t a good enough walker yet to really take off.  She found a pumpkin and hit it for awhile!  I wonder if I have a picture from last year at the pumpkin patch?

This must be 3 years ago!  Corban was 5 and Brynn was almost 2!

Here is Nora from last year!  That pumpkin is almost as big as she is!  What a little dolly she was!

Enjoying the hay ride!

This is Corban’s favorite part of the pumpkin patch.  They have this homemade pentagon thing that goes around and around.  Brian pushes it and it goes fast!  This was the best picture I got of Corban!  Funny, huh?

I am loving all of these posts, Charloe! I'm glad that you found an easy way to blog so we can see all of the fun going on in your life.

I love the pictures from years past, too! How neat to compare the difference a few years can make!

This is a great post! I especially like seeing the kids from years past. I had forgotten that Brynn had chubby cheeks. And look how tiny Nora was! I think Corban is the least changed, at least from what I can see. He's just getting taller and even more handsome!
