Pumpkin Patch Junkies

Okay, this post should be 3 posts because we have been pumpkin patch junkies! Last week we hit 3 pumpkin patches in 3 days! And we have a ton of pics to show for it! So here we go....


First patch...J's preschool field trip to Russell Farms. He got to hang out with his best bud, Blake
who goes to the same preschool even though they're not in the same class.

This is the cheesiest pose I've ever seen my hammy son strike! I love it! I honestly don't even know where he came up with this, but I'm so glad I caught it!

The kids got to do some farm chores. Here's J pitchin' some hay.
His class. (At least the ones that would sit for the picture.)
The last thing he got to do was probably his favorite: racing the John Deere around the track. He left that other kid in the dust!Day 2--we visited another pumpkin patch with a big group of friends and family.

Here's J in his usual form, surrounded by girls...

Em gets to work inspecting the pumpkins.



J and Papaw on the sunny hayride to the pumpkin patch.

J was so sure about this pumpkin. It was the perfect one for him. It took him a whopping 5 seconds to pick it. So we spent the rest of the time picking one for Em.

Gam and Papaw with the kids in the patch.

They had a cool "pumkin tree" with what must have been 100 or more pumkins hanging on it.


Day 3: Back at the second patch, but with more things to do. We went with our neighbors this time. This is one of J's new friends who lives next door. They're riding the pumpkin train.

Strong man.
Driving the tractor.
Again, the hayride to the pumpkin patch. This time we had no intention of bringing back any pumpkins, but the ride was still fun.

So we are all pumpkin patched out! We have a nice array of pumpkins on the front porch to show for it too! I just love the fall!
