A Day at the Pumpkin Patch

A few weekends ago the boy and I took a little drive to check out a local pumpkin patch.


It was awesome!  Amazing as it is, I have never in my life been to a pumpkin patch.  I'm not sure if they are more popular now, but when I was a kid we would just grab a pumpkin at the local grocery store.  I am definitely a fan of the patch though.

When we walked in we just grabbed a wagon.


I was amazed at the selection they had.  I have never seen so many pumpkins in one place!


At one point a little boy around 5 walked up to Hep, looked in our wagon full of mini pumpkins and said, "Awww!  How cute!  Look at you with your cute baby pumpkins!"  I cracked up!  Hep tries to big and tough but even he laughed and admitted he looked pretty funny.


For the last few weeks the boy and I have been talking "smack" to each other about who will be the better pumpkin carver.  We each chose a "canvas" (basically the biggest we could find) and will have a contest to see who has the better skilz.



We ended up with 2 huge pumpkins, 2 small ones and 18 (yes, EIGHTEEN) minis.


It was funny that we were the only couple there without kidos and definitely had the most loot in our wagon.

We had a blast and can't wait to breakout the carving tools!
