Pumpkin Patch

What's Fall without going to the Pumpkin Patch?  Jarem had his annual field trip to the pumpkin patch this past Thursday, October 20th.  It was a cold, windy day with highs only in the 50's.  I was hesitant to even go, but he was insistent.  Besides, I kept reminding myself that this might be the last year he goes on a field trip to the pumpkin patch.  They don't do many field trips here, and as they get older it is fewer and fewer.  In the end, I was glad I went.  We bundled up, and the cold wasn't bad except during lunch.  At least the sun was out, and the fall colors really are beautiful just lately.  We went to Honeysuckle Hills Farm.

This was pretty cute! The 3 little pigs with brick house, stick house, and straw house (not pictured)
 Also, Jarem is holding hot cider.  We got that to warm up, and he loved it.  I think the pigs may have been his favorite thing.

Teaching time...learning about how pumpkins grow and bees

Waiting for the hayride, which they didn't have room for parents:( Jarem was so sad.

Just coming off the big tube slide...he loved it!

Picking his pumpkin! He is a boy who knows what he wants. :)

Proud of his choice

Some Fall trees!

 It was a great day!

Gabby is still sad that we didn't make it to the pumpkin patch this year. This is the first year we haven't gone. Too many colorguard and dance activities on the weekends & less than stellar weather makes it hard to find a good time to go. I'm glad you got to go with Jarem even though it was cold.
