pumpkin patch

 

i LOVE pumpkin patches! when i was a kid we just got our pumpkins from the grocery store. it worked but it wasn't much of an adventure. we have gone to a pumpkin patch three years in a row now and i hope we can go forever. 

 

you can't test drive the pumpkins at the grocery store. 

the following is the proper technique for picking a pumpkin as demonstrated by ben.

 

1. make sure you pick the perfect pumpkin.

2. bend and lift with your legs. not your back.

3. haul it to your cool wagon.

 

problem is sometimes pumpkins are heavy and roads are bumpy so mommy needs to help. (look i exist!)

 

and if pumpkins aren't enough fun . . .

 

tractors!!! 

 

this is when ben is done. he says, "no more pitchers a ben mommy! go away!" like he ever looks at the camera anyway. nice try ben. the camera will always be in your face! i promise it is out of love!

i hope someday you will thank me!
