Pumpkin Patch

This is a family tradition that we have actually stuck with since Carl was one!

Last year Jay Jr. was with us. It was a stormy windy night and it was already dark before Carl got home from work and we could go. I can't remember the date, but we knew it was our last chance to visit a pumpkin patch before halloween. Because of the weather and the time (past 8 o'clock), all of the places that we drove to nearby were closed. We were about to give up and sadly go home when I remembered a pumpkin patch at a church way up in Indiatlantic - 30 minutes away and across the street from the beach. We drove up there and low and behold!... they were open! The wind was blowing so hard off the beach the kids could barely stand up! We miss you Jay!

This year wasn't quite so dramatic. We only had to drive 5 minutes to get to this place that we noticed on the way to Little Carl's soccer fields. The people were super nice and they had a great selection of orange, white, smooth, and bumpy pumkins. They also had some really cool looking gourds.
