The Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday we got up early, put on some warm play clothes, piled into the truck and headed out to the country for some fall fun. After a hearty Denny's breakfast, and a 45 minute ride up and down the mountains of Central New York, we arrived at Tim's Pumpkin Patch.

Ben loved all the rows of pumpkins. He thought they were for climbing on.


Hannah was also excited about doing something new. She and Daddy hiked all the way to the farthest patch where no one else was to get the best pumpkins. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of this as I was afraid of the camera being dropped in something unpleasant.


After our little photo shoot with the pumpkins we saw all the animals they keep at the farm. The highlight was definitely the 944 lb. pig; though Ben preferred neighing at the baby horse.


After playing in the grain bin for awhile and going for a horse-drawn wagon ride we had popcorn, hot dogs, fresh apple cider and a pumpkin funnel cake in the back of the truck. I think this is going to be a new family tradition; although from now on we'll take the minivan instead of torturing the truck's transmission over those mountains.
