Pumpkin Patch Picking

 
 
 

We fulfilled the annual pumpkin hunting event with Grandpa Neil. Carpinito Brothers' in Kent was the spot again this year. They had a cute little farm animal section that the kids and I enjoyed. Myles loved roaming free and the hand sanitizer. We of course got the big bag of popcorn and then headed to the very non-scenic tractor ride.
 
This was Rhett's second trip to the pumpkin patch- his first being with Joy school friends when he picked out a small pumpkin to paint. Myles had fun bouncing his bottom on perfectly sized pumpkins. Myles also enjoyed trying to push the wagon full of pumpkins. Caramel and Rhett found it amusing to find the pumpkin that were squished with the guts showing. Caramel and I found a vine with gourds growing that were fun looking. That started the gourd shopping.
So the kids and adults picked out pumpkins than several gourds were purchased as well. The last thing bought was brussel sprouts. I had some roasted once, so I attempted. Not yummy. I think using them for Halloween as fake brains would have been more useful. We have not carved pumpkins yet, but soon. Instead we have glittered smaller ones and decorated them in fun ways.
