Pumpkin Patch


We love visiting pumpkin patches!  Over the years we have seen many, in many different states.  This year we went to Applin' Farms for our pumpkin plucking.  We had fun visiting their farm animals and even had a little boy tell us the names of a few of his animals.  Brennan of course was not impressed with the "farm smells".  We took a hayride out to the patch and the kids dispursed to find the perfect pumpkin.  Ryleigh found herself waist high in pumpkin leaves and vines and had to have Daddy rescue her.  She was also still sporting a rather big bandage from the previous thumb smashing incident.  Connor surprised us all by picking out the biggest pumpkin.  Brennan went for the unique look.  His was a "brown" pumpkin.  It looked a little off to me.  Ryleigh somehow ended up with two.  One she picked out and a little one I showed her.  both were just too cute and perfect to pass up. 






Carving the pumpkins was lots of fun.  The week was way too busy so we found ourselves carving them a little here and there on Halloween night.  We finished them up after trick or treating and enjoyed lighting them up!



Thanks Applin Farms for making our pumpkin experience so enjoyable!
