Picking our pumpkins

My boys had Thursday and Friday off from school and the weather was about to change from weeks and weeks of sunshine and warmth to the more usual overcast and wet fall weather. So, given those two things what does a mom do? Take those boys to the pumpkin patch, quick!

This year we went to The Farm. Great name, eh? Ha ha. I guess the full name is The Farm at Swan's Trail. Since we went in on a weekday afternoon and there weren't any field trips going on, it was nice and quiet. No other people in the background!

Note: that is NOT dirt on my son's nose.
He had a nasty fall off his bike last week.

We just picked out some pumpkins, the boys posed for some photos (thankfully without any fuss)

and we explored the place a bit. Check out the texture on this pumpkin.

I loved the zinnias which were still in bloom.

We found a kitten to love on too.

I'm glad my boys don't think they are too old for the pumpkin patch yet. We'll probably visit a corn maze later this month since that is their favourite fall activity.
