Pumpkin Patch

I took vacation for the kids' fall break for a couple reasons - 1, I needed a break, and 2, we're trying to keep the days that my mom has all the grandkids by herself to a minimum. I was pretty excited to be off with them during the week because it really just doesn't happen often. We had parent/teacher conferences bright and early (they went great), then went to breakfast at The Flying Biscuit with our friends, and then had the rest of the day totally unplanned. Kate had been begging to go pick pumpkins, so I thought we'd go to Page Farms, but wouldn't you know they're closed except for field trips during the week. Seriously?! Anyway, we ended up going to this little pumpkin patch right around the corner from our house. We were the only ones there and the kids had a great time checking out all of the pumpkins! I even squeezed in a few extra pictures :)

 

 

 

 

Kate wanted to carve one of these... I told her that I was game as long as she was scooping them out herself :)
