Country Pumpkins

On Sunday afternoon, we drove out to Country Pumpkins in Caledonia to visit the pumpkin patch. It is such a great little farm with tons to do for the little ones.
Will rode the John Deere pedal tractors first thing! He was all into it and we had to revisit the tractors after every activity we did.

Then, we all rode on a hayride around the farm.


After that, Will jumped in this trailer filled with cotton. This was probably his second favorite to the tractors.

Then, he dug arond in the corn filled sand boxes and he and I went through a small hay bale maze. Will did great in the maze, but I, on the other hand, was a little freaked out. Imagine small spaces, low ceilings, and warm, stuffy air! Claustrophobic!!

Finally, we picked out a pumpkin for us and one for the Aldridges. I can't wait for them to join us next year at Country Pumpkins!



On Monday night, we got together with Kelly, Brett, Kate, and Brett's brother, Jason, to carve pumpkins. It was a blast. I think that October has become my new favorite time of year. There are so many fun things going on like festivals and football games, the weather is starting to turn cool, and I love all the yummy treats like caramel apples and roasted pumpkin seeds.
Will helped me pull all of the seeds out of the pumpkin goo!


Dan did all the carving. He's pretty crafty! He drew this ghost on the pumpkin from looking at a picture online. Not too shabby!


Kinda scary looking with the lights off!
