For Three years running Rose and I have had a Halloween tradition of taking our boys to Farmer Grant’s pumpkin patch. This is something our mother took us to do when we were young. Our boys are starting to love this tradition almost as much as we do!
We started out walking through the pumpkin patch and into the corn maze. Aiden and Bear loved the maze and ran almost the entire time. Michael and I took turns chasing after them telling them to wait for us. Following the corn maze is an area with all sorts of farm animals for the kids to look at and feed. This eventually led us to the spook alley or alley of lights as they call it.
Finally, we finished and it was time to pick our pumpkins! We had a blast loading the boys up in the wagon trying to get them to pose for a picture…. They are never very cooperative when it comes to taking their pictures. …
We each picked our own pumpkin - the idea was to get something that resembled each of us.
Tonight we had a fun carving our pumpkins!
Aiden was little grossed out by the pumpkin guts…but loved eating the roasted pumpkin seeds.
The pumpkins turned out great and we are officially ready for Halloween!
