Pumpkin Patch 2010

Sweetie and I have taken the boys to the pumpkin patch since Cory first turned 1 in North Carolina.

Depending on age there are varying things we could do. The first couple of years we just took family photo's amongst the pumpkins. Then as Cory and Brian got bigger they would be tall enough to stick their faces in various farm style cutouts, take a hay ride, go dunking for apples, and feed the animals (when there were animals), ect.

The last several years have been so much fun, each one increasing what we can do, or let them go do on their own. My favorite has to be pumpkin picking. Each boy has been allowed to pick whatever size, shape, or color of pumpkin they want. The only rule is that they have to be able to carry it to the car. This year the pumpkins ranged from 18 to 20 pounds each!

Yesterday was Sasha, our rat terrior's first pumpkin patch. She had to stay in the car while we went through the corn maze though as pets weren't allowed.

We took pictures and explored the maze. Now we need to carve the pumpkins!
