Pumpkin Patch

Here it is Halloween and I haven't even shared our annual trip to Schaake's Pumpkin Patch yet.  Somehow it seems the entire month of October got away from me!

This year, we decided to go on a weekday to avoid some of the crowds and craziness that weekend visits bring.  We practically had the place to ourselves, but it also happened to be a freakishly windy day.  High winds coupled with dry, dry fields made it quite a dust bowl so we didn't dilly-dally much.

Here are the highlights.

Yay!  A picture with Mommy for once!

Tractors are SO cool

Proud of his pumpkins

Thanks for a fun afternoon, Schaakes. 

Until next year...
