Scenes from the Pumpkin Patch

My girls look forward to our pumpkin patch time every Fall. We have several great pumpkin patches in our area, but our favorite has free admission on the weekdays...making it the perfect spot for pumpkin picking. Michaela Byrd and I visited one morning earlier this month with our MOPS group. We had so much fun we went back over the weekend with Natalie, my mom, and my sis and niece, who were visiting. While Michaela Byrd was convinced we'd see The Great Pumpkin (too much Charlie Brown, perhaps?), we did see loads of pumpkins, fun farm stuff, animals, and some great Fall vignettes. Here are some Scenes from the Pumpkin Patch.

I just love the sight of lumpy Fall gourds, mounds of corn, fresh apples, and bright orange pumpkins.

The animals are always a big draw for pumpkin patch visitors:

It's not a trip to the farm without a hayride and a look at the scenery!

And the grand finale, the choosing of the pumpkins...

Some people go for the "cleanest" pumpkin they can find:

Others hunt for the absolute largest thing they can possibly carry and then hand it off to their mom to lug to the car:

We certainly had our fill of Fall fun over those two trips!

What's your favorite Fall activity?
