Our Saturdays this month have filled up pretty quickly, but I really wanted to go get a pumpkin from the farm and not buy one at the store. We finally had the time on the 18th, so off we went!
We got there before the first wagon was ready to go out to the patch, so we headed inside the main store for some cider donuts and warm apple cider. It really wasn't too chilly so we ate ours outside and let Hayden wander around.
On our way to the wagon ride we came across this:
I had to get a picture :)
The whole way out to the patch Hayden was talking about "Traker Tippin". He has some Cars books and I guess the tractor that was pulling the wagon looked like the tractors from the book!
There were a bunch of pumpkins to choose from, so we took our time and just wandered around. Hayden loved having the freedom to run down the rows and tried to pick up almost every "punkin" he saw.
Darren looked for a while, but finally found a great one for us to take home. Bummer was, on the wagon ride back he noticed it had worms coming out the bottom. We were able to find another good one at the drop off area, so we still called it a good trip.
We wanted to also get a little one for Hayden, but they didn't have those out in the patches. Luckily they had them by the registers out front.
We procrastinated carving/decorating them for a while, and then realized that Halloween is tomorrow, so we had to do something about it tonight.
Instead of carving Hayden's, we broke out some water color paints and let him have at it. I really think he had a good time. We still haven't carved our big one, but that will happen eventually....
