Pumpkin Patch

We've made it an annual fall tradition to visit the same pumpkin patch in our area. It's fun to go and remember the previous year and how much Joel has changed.

Here's 2009, our first fall as a family of three.

2010, in which we searched for the perfect pumpkin.

2011, where we picked any pumpkin that looked good so that we could trek back to the port-a-potty.

We went on a beautiful day--sunny and very warm. It was a little strange picking pumpkins in summer clothes!





 We picked two large pumpkins, and Joel rode back with them in the wheelbarrow.


 Joel's special pumpkin that he could actually carry!

This trip was our first fall activity, and it was definitely a great way to start celebrating the season!

I love that you posted three years worth of Joel in the patch! That first one, he's such a baby!!! Must have been pretty warm there :) Yeah, we were much more bundled up at our p.patch than you guys. Time to get carving!
