Pumpkin pickin'!

I love going to the pumpkin patch every year!  We are a family with about a million traditions to go with every holiday, and this is one of my favorites!  (Okay, so they're all my favorite, GIMME A BREAK!)      

We had a day full of cool things.  There were corn bins to jump in (wierd, but apparently very fun), tire swings, a petting zoo, corn maze, and of course the hayride to the pumpkin patch itself.  We've never gone this late in the season before, and I was surprised at how few and how small the pumpkins actually were.  We had a little trouble finding ones that were suitable, but I think everyone got one they were happy with!

Grayson is an old pro at the pumpkin patch thing, and Grant was right on his heels doing everything big bubba did.  He jumped right into that corn, big kids and all; he hung onto the tire swing for dear life, determined to swing all by himself; he wanted to carry his own pumpkin, but it was just too heavy for his little arms! 

All in all, we had a blast.  I love being together as a family, making memories we can all treasure.

I think it's great that you make time for all the family traditions. These are the things they'll remember when they're older.

Looks like they had a blast! Late or not, I´d say the tradition is a great one, especially with corn bin jumping and tire swings. :D

Wonderful photos! Looks like a good time for all. I love family traditions and I'm looking forward to starting some of our own.

We're going today after work. We go every year, sometimes twice, but the girls have been sick. Nice pictures!
