This past Sunday Jeremy and I took the kiddos to Renick's Family Market to their Pumpkin Patch. I don't ever remember going to an actual pumpkin patch to get my pumpkins as a kid and it seems like such a fun tradition to start with ours!
So anyway, we bundled them up since it was a bit chilly and it is a bit north of us and there aren't as many hills to block the wind. Jeremy had an ambition to get a ginormous pumkin for Wyatt (which I don't have a picture of yet but we are carving tomorrow so look for that post!) and we got it. We also got a couple of gords and teeny tiny pumpkins to decorate the table as well as 2 small-ish pumpkins, one for random carving, and one for Miss Madelinn. I am so excited to carving them tomorrow and seeing Wyatt digging the "gunk" out! I also plan to make some pumpkin muffins tomorrow! Yummy...
They had a really neat set up that has a giant pumpkin that says "How tall I am this Year" so i took Wyatt's picture standing in front of it though I think it is a bit inaccurate because he was only 1/4 of an inch away from 3 feet at the doctor last week.Wyatt and Daddy also crawled through a tunnel made from straw bales and then we went out into the pumpkin patch for some pictures. The way they price their pumpkins is that you can buy pre-priced ones that are in the market or you can go out to the field and do an "all one person can carry in their arms" for $20. The distance is about 25 yards? We just decided to pick a few out in the market and explore the patch a bit.
Trying to decide if he wants to go in
Seems like fun....
Happy on the other side with a handful of straw!
