Our Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Oh happy day!! There just isn't a place we'd rather be on a sunny Autumn day than Sweet Berry Farm. It is our favorite place!

We met our weekly play group there for a special pumpkin patch field trip this morning. The buddies went on their first ever hay ride (ahh-choo!), painted pumpkins, enjoyed a picnic lunch with our friends, and then ate ice-cream and Miss Annie's cupcakes. And they spent a lot of time exploring pumpkins - they sorted them, tossed them (and got in trouble for it), rolled them, climbed on them, sang about them, walked on them, sat on them, and painted them. They each brought their painted creations home and I picked a lovely Queensland Blue pumpkin for our kitchen table.

The buddies also enjoyed seeing the the berry crops, our favorite reason to visit the farm, covered for the upcoming winter. We'll be back again in the Spring, when they're ready to pick!
