Pumpkin Patch/Petting Zoo in Black and White


We visited the pumpkin patch this week, and the kids have been happily drawing faces on their new orange buddies. We won’t carve them for another week, since we like them to last at least until October 31 without withering and wrinkling.

I am lucky enough to have two fabulous pumpkin patches within ten minutes of my house. The farm we went to this week has a petting zoo, a play area with a hay maze, a country store filled with homestyle goodies, hay rides, and of course the pumpkins. Next week, we’ll visit the other pumpkin patch.

Here are a few of my photos, in glorious black & white, from our outing.

    I really think that should be “the kids and me in the pumpkin patch”, but oh well, do forgive my grammar lapse.

    Mrs. Darling, I do hope the rain held off! It’s been a surprising indian summer over here - should hold out for another 4-5 days before the COLD comes.

    Grace, thank you; I’m glad we all look happy. It’s because I didn’t include the picture of my son having a melt-down when he couldn’t find the “perfect” pumpkin. :-)
