Pumpkin Patch

Last Monday, the kids and I headed to Live Oak pumpkin patch with my friends Sue, Karina and their kids. When we got there, we discovered that the rides, jumpers and pony rides didn't open until three. It was around 12:30ish. We ended up going along with some school kids for an informational session about pumpkins. We even got to pick out our own little pumpkin at the the small price of $7.00 a person (children one and under were free, so you bet I told them that Brooke was only 1).

All the kids (Justin, Garrett, Lily, Tori, Reese and Jordyn) and Sue riding along in the wagon.

It was still fun for the kids to learn about how the pumpkins grow and we even got to go on a ride around the pumpkin patch. Later, we hung out, had lunch, went looking for pumpkins in the pumpkin patch and then, finally, went on some rides.

Most of the kids trying to pose for a picture with their pumpkins!


Brooke loved her little pumpkin that she would not let go of it!


LUNCH TIME!

Okay, we went a little late in the season for pumpkin picking. All of the good pumpkins were gone and all that remained were the yucky ones. The kids still had fun looking at all the pumpkins. Here the kids are hot and anxiously waiting for the rides to open.


Finally, the rides open and they get to ride on the ponies.
