We thought of going to another patch that was closer but it was closed on the day we had planned the trip. So back to Burt's Farm. It was a lot different this year. The added element of mobile children was very interesting. Instead of pulling them around in a small red wagon we let them run free. Evan was first to explore. He was off to find the biggest pumpkin - at least the one with the biggest pooled water sitting on top of it. It had just rained and rained a little while we were there so the big ones would have water sitting where the stem was removed. They all got the hang of splashing it out and would move from one pumpkin to the next.
Our little pumpkins playing with great big pumpkins.
Evan finds him a couple keepers. The one standing up is a little rotten but I guess we'll take her home anyway.
It's a good thing we picked a weekday and a rainy one as well. Very little crowds made it easier to let them explore on their own.
Charlotte (Miss Priss) ventured off on her own and found a nice big mud puddle to jump in. It was a surprise because 2 minutes earlier she was flipping out over a couple of pieces of hay that had gotten into her wagon. She held her feet up because she did not want to touch it. I guess not to prissy for a little mud jumping.
Evan tried his best to move the giant squash. But no luck.
Ellie got a kick out of riding one. Her legs were clinched into the sides of that pumpkin like she was riding a horse. Make sure to check out last years shot of her on a pumpkin - it is the same excited face.
Pick a pack of pumpkins!
A few more shot to capture the moment!
Now Jennifer is just showing off her new editing techniques!!!
Look at all those pumpkins!!!
We were able to stop someone to take our family shot. Evan did nothing but frown at the stranger.
Where's Waldo?
