Pumpkin Patch

For the 3rd year in a row we went back to "The Berry Ranch" with a bunch of friends from church. The kids enjoyed the hay bale maze, the tractor ride & finding their pumpkin in a very lush pumpkin patch.

Here we are getting ready to go on the hay ride. All the people you see here are the Moffatt's, Dykstra's, O'Hara's, Dayton's, Ruthie & Carris.


Jaxon found his pumpkin! Look at how tall the pumpkin patch was. Is that normal? It was a little creepy that we had to dig for our pumpkins. I think in past years we went so late in the season all the plants were dying and were trampled on. Ty & Riley had a hard time walking in in. They kept falling down...poor things.

It was such a beautiful day!


This is the "big strong" pumpkin that Hudson found. He didn't get it, because there was a lady monitoring weather the kids could carry their own pumpkins or not. Some rule the patch has...Id say he couldn't carry this one, not even a chance!
Just your size little buddy!

Time for the big job...trying to get all these pumpkins to the car. What a good helper Ty is.


Here's Uncle David with children hanging on him...its the usual.

Here is Uncle David with all the kids. Eli & Acacia are especially enthused about getting their picture taken for the ump-teenth time!

What great fall activities. You'll have to post some pictures when you get all those pumpkins carved into Jack-O-Lanterns!

Looks like fun! I especially like the last picture with the tired Dykstra kids. You take great pictures! I agree - post some fun pictures of the carved pumpkins.
