pumpkin fun

Yesterday was our annual family day at Burt's Pumpkin Farm.  It is by far one of my most favorite holiday traditions we have.  We have been going to Burt's since The Mayor was one year old and I don't ever want to stop going.  The weather was perfect...highs were in the low 60s and a little overcast.  A perfect fall day to enjoy at the pumpkin patch.

The four of us, Mamie, PopPop, Meega, J, Bennett and Walker all made the trip this year.  The first thing we hit was the hayride.  The Mayor loved seeing all the pumpkins, tractors, fake bears in the woods, talking pumpkins, lights, sunflowers, pretend graveyards and creeks along the way.  Love Bug took the opportunity to snuggle in with D.  A moment I know he will not soon forget.  She cuddled in, looked at the sites with him and they also sang some of her favorite songs along the ride.

After the ride, we attempted family pictures and then went to pick out our pumpkins.  This year, The Mayor wanted his own wheelbarrow...and I have to say, I was pretty impressed with his wheelbarrow pushing skills.  He was pretty good at steering and turning it.  And he didn't take out any innocent bystanders.

After the pumpkin patch, we headed back towards home and ate lunch together.  After lunch, we came home for naps/rest time and then spent the rest of the afternoon outside playing.  The weather was so cool we just had to enjoy it outside.  While playing, Mamie invited us over for pumpkin bread and we ended up ordering pizza and staying for dinner.  By the time we got home, it was 30 minutes passed bedtime and we were all wiped.  The kids were down by 7:45 and D and I were down by 9:00.

A perfect fall day!
