Punkin' Patch

It had been awhile since we've done anything as a family.  Felix is a horrific sleeper at times, and as a result, is in bed many nights by 6:30 pm.  So...we stay in a lot.  However, on Sunday, we took advantage of a rare good nap day and headed to the pumpkin patch.

It's a pretty no-frills pumpkin patch.  No hay rides or corn mazes--just pumpkin vines, tiny apple trees, and a few pick-your-own berries.

The kids loved it.  They ran in the fields, inspected berries, and analyzed pumpkins.  Felix, who aside from the sleeping is remarkably easygoing, simply enjoyed the fresh air and scenery.  Everybody picked some prize pumpkins, and we also made off with a bag of Honeycrisps and a few decorative pumpkins.

If we had let her, Marlo would have gotten dozens of pumpkins.  She kept carrying them to the wagon until we finally made her choose her favorites.  Hayden went for a large gourd.  Felix--well, he was content to ride in my back carrier, sit in the wagon, and eat dirt and pumpkin stems.
