Pumpkin Patch 2011

Just in the nick of time we made it to the pumpkin patch! The kids have been asking for weeks and we finally had to go or we would have never made it in time for Halloween.

Reid was the perfect age for a first trip. He was happy in the stroller and happy to have a pumpkin to look at.

Lucy was enamored with all the little tiny pumpkins! 

Gwen was excited to get in on the pumpkin excitement this year too!

I don't remember there ever being a pumpkin washing station before but it certainly was a hit with Andrew. And a hit with me. No trying to bathe the pumpkins in my sink! Andrew wanted the biggest pumpkin in the entire field, Eric told him if he could pick it up then he could have it. So Andrew bent down and hauled it up. I don't think Eric is going to make that rule anymore. We may have some VERY large pumpkins in our future!

Zane got a pumpkin from his kindergarten pumpkin patch field trip this year. He was very excited to use that one to carve. Works for us. He was a big help finding Reid a pumpkin instead.
