It's the Great Pumpkin


We made our annual trek to the Happy Apple Farm about an hour from us to enjoy the hayrides and pumpkin patch. Apple-picking is long since done (I really need to remember to do that next year, which is what i said last year, too). Anyway, it's a small, quaint place. Bode and Keegen love the fact that we ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor. The boys found three lovely pumpkins and then we got some candy and gourds at their little store. Followed by ice cream and another haywagon ride to finish it all off. A fun family outing. Funny to think that last year Keegen was this tiny thing in the Bjorn. And this year he was wrestling pumpkins off the ground. Bode is getting so big and able to hoist his up and look forward to pumpkin carving.
