It's been a tradition for the kids and I to go with my Mom and Jolene to pick out a pumpkin from a homeowner that grows pumpkins in a field next to his house. I really like the patch because the people there are really friendly, it's kid friendly and they usually have their yard decorated with cute little photo ops. This year Bob was able to go with us. It was fun and challenging all at the same time. For the middle of October it was really warm. Bob doesn't do to well in warm weather. Poor Gavin missed his nap because we wanted to go around the time of his nap. So we had two grumpy boys with us. Luckily we got a wagon because it was pretty busy and at first we didn't have one. But Jolene saved the day and found us a wagon to carry all our pumpkins. I love the pumpkin patch because you get to search the field for the perfect pumpkin.
Zack wanted to find one that was just his size. And he did find one that was small enough for him to carry. He loved it! Gavin was having fun just picking up pumpkins and moving them to a different location. Surprising... not really that is just SO Gavin!
I loved watching Bob and Zack walk through the field looking for a pumpkin. I hope that Bob will come with us more often, the Boys needs these fun outing with both mommy and daddy. The family that owns the pumpkin patch also has horses so Zack was very excited to go look at the horses (unfortunetly I didn't go with them because I was with Gavin and Jolene lost her memory card in the field... Boo hoo).
We did find a great assortment of pumpkins and it only costed us $7! It was a great deal and it helps a local farmer.
