Pumpkin Patch

Our family finally made it out to the pumpkin patch today. Before going, we watched "The Great Pumpkin" several times to put us all in the mood. Mathias just stood in awe looking at the sea of pumpkins.
 Then he decided he needed to sprint around them as fast as he could.
 He wanted to check out every pumpkin, even the poor ones sitting all by themselves at the bottom of the hill.
 Mathias finally discovered that he could pick up the small pumpkins.
The "patch" we visited is right on 441 so Mathias was easily distracted by all the "big trucks."
 Most of the pumpkins were bigger than Analy, but she didn't seem intimidated.
 She enjoyed giving them a good pat.
 Here's her happy scarecrow face!
 Peek-a-boo!
 Analy preferred the shady tent (since it was a blazing 90 degrees).
 This was as close as I got to getting a photo of the two of them together. Mathias ran around the tent grabbing and throwing small pumpkins. Thankfully, there were no casualties!
 After we finally picked our family pumpkin and the sweet lady sent our kids away with a little pumpkin of their own, Mathias had to check out their tractor to make his trip complete.
 He even got to sit on it.
 And pretend to drive. I think he would have sat there all day in the blazing sun.
 Everyone was happy with our pumpkin choices.
We'll enjoy them for a few days before we get the knife after them.
