ThE PuMpKiN PaTcH

Going to the Pumpkin Patch in Willcox is the other half of our Apple Annie's tradition. We go to both places in one day. This year our group was pretty big, and both places were really crowded...but oh well. We go more for the experience than the pumpkins....they are too expensive. So the rule is they have to be able to carry their pumpkin.

Jayden could BARELY hold up his pumpkin...it wasn't really Jayden-sized. And he didn't even end up with that pumpkin. After finding one for his baby cousin Ava...he apparently liked hers better and wanted to switch. Atleast he could carry that one. He was so tired after the day that when we went to Pizza Hut to eat afterwards, he just slept on my lap. Poor guy.


Colby had to get people (Branson and Catlyn) to walk around to find his perfect pumpkin. He couldn't decide on one on his own.


Grayson was really easy, after looking for like 2 mintues he found one.


Ok, Jeremy found this pumpkin and said it was shaped like a mom. It was really funny. We called it our mom pumpkin....I really wanted it but when we saw how much it was going to cost we secretly put it in a pile (you are supposed to buy what you pick...and its not a secret now...oops)

Like father, like son. I think that Jeremy's favorite part of going is that there is 1) Snow cones/Shaved Ice and 2) Fresh kettle corn. Thats the first thing he goes for when we get out of the car. So then we have to carry a giant bag of popcorn that we have to open every 5 steps, and each kid has to carry their snow cone....and there is no way around it. I just had to learn to accept it. So I make sure to take my family picture BEFORE Jayden gets his blue face and teeth.


Yes...he is peeing out in the field...no I didn't realize what he was doing until it was too late. He was just doing his part to keep the pumpkins well watered. You can see Jeremy holding the popcorn.

These two pictures I forgot to add with the apple ones, and am too lazy to add on to that post.
