Pumpkin Picking

One of my favorite things to do in the Fall is going pumpkin picking! This year we joined Joshua and his preschool class for some pumpkin picking fun. Nicholas was not able to go with us because of school. However, he did get to pick out his own pumpkin at the Commissary. He picked the biggest one he could carry!

Joshua and Noah did a great job choosing a pumpkin to bring home with us. Joshua picked a green pumpkin this year. He didn't even look at the orange pumpkins when it came time to choose one. I think we will have to carve his pumpkin like Frankenstein! Noah found his pumpkin with a little help from Mommy and Daddy. He wasn't very picky!

So many pumpkins.....so little time!


Joshua was content with the first pumpkin (or shall I say gourd) that he saw.

It was so hard for little Noah to walk in the pumpkin patch. All those vines had him falling flat on his tush and in some instances his face. Thank goodness for Daddy's shoulders!

Joshua thought this pumpkin was a good fit for Noah.

It was just a little too heavy, but he tried really hard to stand up with it anyway.

Cheese!

We saw lots of animals at Brautigam's Farm. There was a baby chicken perched on a toy barn. Noah was in awe!

Whoa...what is that Daddy?

Noah was not afraid to stick his little fingers through the fence and touch the goats.

Needless to say, we used lots of hand sanitizer!
