The Pumpkin Patch

I absolutely LOVE fall!  It's my favorite season.  I have been wanting to take the kids to the pumpkin patch for a couple of weeks but things have been so busy I just hadn't gotten my act together.  This weekend we finally went with our some good friends of our.  We had such a great time.  

Lane had pulled out the camera and started taking pictures of Zach.  As soon as he did Zach turned on it on.  He was such a ham bone.  He seemed to know Lane was taking his picture.

I love LakeView Farms but this year their pumpkin selection was lacking.  I reckon it was because of one or all of the following reasons.  

1.  They were just picked over

2.  A lousy crop this year

3.  They are rationing their pumpkins to last the season and that's all they put out for that day.

I wasn't too excited about paying a high price for a green pumpkin.  Fortunately I had my thinking cap on.  We suggested to the boys that we'd get a better pumpkin from the grocery store.  I was surprised when I didn't have to work for that one.  They readily agreed.  Despite the fact that we left without a pumpkin, it was sooooooooo worth the trip.  I love this patch!  I love that the boys get to ride a train to the patch and a boat back.  I love that it is beautiful!

I did not take the picture of Riley and Chad below.  Melissa did.  It is such a great picture.  As Melissa put it, "They look tough.  Cowboy tough."

The boat ride back.  Zach was a little nervous about it.
