Pumpkin Patch

How do I get so behind? Could it be that we are busier than ever? Its a fun busy but, definitely busy. Here I am now, two weeks later, writing our post about our annual trip to the pumpkin patch.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with fall. I love this time of year. The beginning of a new school year, the fall colors, sweaters, boots, pumpkin flavored yumminess, candles, soups, scarves....I could go on and on!

This year we headed out to Spooner Farms.We had a very busy day with lots of plans, but the first stop was the pumpkin patch! It was a gorgeous day! Seriously, it was so sunny and warm, and dry! Usually it is kind of wet and muddy, but this year it was dusty. This year was special because it was Henry's first trip to the pumpkin patch!
 This was by far the best pumpkin patch we have been to. It was adorable. I loved the giant, smiling spiders all around. The kids like them too!

 We explored the pumpkin patch and then got down to business and began our search for our pumpkins! It was so hard to choose. There were so many great pumpkins this year!

We ended up with four, because there are four of us in our family! Henry got his own pumpkin.

Henry's first trip to the pumpkin patch!

We loaded our wheel barrow and headed over to weigh our 59 pounds of pumpkins! 

We paid for our pumpkins and headed to see Matt's grandpa. The day was far from over for me and the boys. The story will be continued.... Until then more pictures!

Pumpkin Patch 2012! Maybe someday the boys will look the same direction.

 

And here is where the pumpkins will make their final home! Our front porch!
