Pumpkin Patch

Last year we didn't make it to the pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin so the kids made sure that it was on the calendar for this year.  We went with some friends in the neighborhood who also home school and are apart of our church.    

 

I think all the kids had a blast, minus the bee sting incident. There were so many sweat bees!

 

Seriously think they have this "get into position for the camera" thing figured out.  All I said was, "hey guys, let me take your picture" and this is what I got.

 

It was this guys first experience at the pumpkin patch and oh. my. goodness. did he have fun!

 

Wasn't sure we were going to be able to get him out of the pumpkin patch.

 But then he realized he got to ride on the wagon again....what little boy doesn't like to do that?

 I have a friend who made their pumpkins into the Despicable Me characters, which totally rocked and we couldn't compete, but it did give the kids the idea to paint their pumpkins like the Lorax characters.  Ben traced the picture which we printed off the internet and then the kids got to painting.  They had the idea in mind before they picked the pumpkins which is why the fish fits so appropriately on that particular pumpkin.

 Great job kiddos!
