Pumpkin Patch 2014 - Part 1 - The Patch

We went on our annual family pumpkin patch outing last week
.  We always go to Thistledown farm, and we try to go with as many family members as possible.  This year we were able to go with my mom and dad, Kim's family and Jeff's family.

We started out at the hay maze while we waited for our wagon to go out to the pumpkin patch.

The kids always have a lot of fun playing in the hay maze!

They love to be with their cousins, and it is always a fun family time for us.  Our kids love going with their cousins so much, that they actually pooled their money and paid for our family to go this year.   We told the kids that we were going to have to wait until their dad got paid, and skip going with their cousins this year, but they didn't want to do that. 

 

 We pretty much took up the whole wagon with our family members.

 The kids LOVE to ride the wagon out to the pumpkin patch.

 

 

Then the hunt for the perfect pumpkin begins.

 

 

Alan ends up carrying the big ones for our family.

 

We traditionally get a family picture in the patch every year.  It is fun to look back and see how our kids have grown up each year.

 

 

Robert loved the pumpkin patch!  He keeps asking if we can go again.
