Pumpkin Patch Fun


Doug heads out of town tomorrow for the week (boo) so we were trying to figure how to spend our Saturday together, especially since the weatherman predicted rain most of the day. When we got up this morning, however, the air was crisp and it was cloudy, but no rain. We made the decision to head out to the pumpkin patch (usually a Sunday afternoon affair for us) first thing. We had a lovely morning in sunshine at our favorite farm, Baggenstoes!

I know there are probably bigger and more exciting farm in the fall, but this one is only a 10 minute drive for us and just perfect!

Hayride to the pumpkins!

She found hers first!

Our rule is the kids have to be able to carry their own pumpkin. This one was a bit too much for my sweet boy! (ok... we tell them that but usually we let them pick and Doug or I help...haha)
"It's "puwfect"! (I love how he says that!)

We come here for our Christmas Tree too, so the kids always like to run around the tree area to see what they can find. They always manage to find the perfect "Charlie Brown" tree!

"TA DA"! He was so excited to find this tree... too bad it was a gazillion feet too tall to fit in our living room...haha!


Love these three!

We decided to try the big corn maze this year.. a first for the kids. They were ready to tackle it!
As Matthew would say, "It's GO time!"

A quick pit stop to look at the map

We did it! :)

The ominous dark clouds were getting closer so we let the kids play for just a bit before heading home.




About 30 minutes after we arrived home the rain came and stayed around the rest of the day. SO thankful we made it out for this annual tradition while the weather was so lovely.

Happy Fall Y'all!!
