The Pumpkin Patch

One Sunday evening about a week and a half ago we headed to Country Pumpkins in Caledonia. We weren't really sure what to expect because we hadn't ever been before. In fact, neither Robert or I remember ever having gone to a pumpkin patch before. We were really excited about going though! Last October was HARD. The whole month I thought about this October when we could take our big girl to the pumpkin patch in a pumpkin dress. :) We had more fun than we could have imagined! Robert and I LOVE making such sweet family memories together with Ellington.





The honor system was used for purchasing pumpkins. Pretty neat!



Ok...so it was less of a pumpkin patch and more of a "pumpkins are sitting in the grass". :) It was all ok though because we were on a farm and there were so many fun activities! But I must admit I was picturing going out into a field and actually picking one!



They had wagons that we could use. So convenient for the pumpkins...and Ellington!



We also went on a hayride! We made it just in time for the last ride of the day! (Whew!) I wish I was a great writer because I would explain in great detail how perfect the hayride was, but I'm not so I don't really feel like I could do it justice. The weather was perfect, the sunset was perfect, and being with my family was perfect. That's all I can really say about it!















Playing in the corn...





...and playing in the cotton!







We already can't wait to go back next year! :)

  1. Awww....so sweet...sorry we never took you to a pumpkin patch. I guess they weren't the going thing "way back then". So thankful that you had a good outing.
