Picking Pumpkins

Josette and I took the kids to the Vineyard Garden Center's Pumpkinland this past weekend. The boys always look forward to the fall because they know they get to carve pumpkins. We took advantage of the good weather on Saturday and let them pick out their own pumpkin.





Look at the size of that pumpkin! Hayden made it his own personal recliner.




After picking out pumpkins and putting them in the car, we went into the corn maze. It wasn't super stroller-friendly but the boys had fun running around and getting lost.





I had to take this picture, we were in that maze forever! And I would have given up after awhile but you had to finish the maze to get to the playarea.

The playarea had three little bouncy things for the kids, this particular one was a little tough for Roman so (of course) I got inside to help him climb up...and in the process I fell right out. Not that it didn't stop me from climbing back in a few more times to help him out.

The boys each picked out a pumpkin, we got Aubrey a small one, and I got one for Jeremiah and I to share. I'm excited for pumpkin seeds, and the boys are excited to carve, paint, and otherwise destroy theirs.

Cute pumpkin patch! Love the bouncy houses although I would have loved to see a picture of you falling out of them. I am so not looking forward to carving pumpkins this year. I think the insides are gross!

I thought the Big Red Barn is the best pumpkin patch, but they don't have bouncy things. And, you bounced right out? Where are those pictures? Way to get right back in there!

I thought the same thing as Stina. No pictures of you falling out? THAT would have been awesome. But what a cool pumpkin patch! I'm jealous!
