Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday we took Jakob to the pumpkin patch. This pumpkin patch is great, you get to ride a train out to the pumpkins, and then take a boat across a small lake back, super fun for the kids. Of course it was pretty muddy at the patch, so those of us who have boots (myself and Jakob) wore them. But after about, hmmm, maybe 1 minute in the pumpkin patch, Jakob took a header/belly flop into the mud! This year I was prepared, I knew it would happen, luckily it was pretty packed mud, so no big deal, last year he actually got stuck n a big muddy puddle - it was horrible! So, we had a better year at the pumpkin patch thank goodness!
We got to the patch early and had a lot of great pumpkins to choose from. Jakob chose a special reddish/orange pumpkin for his baby sister because "she will like red," and he chose a white pumpkin for himself (you can see Jakob pointing to the reddish pumpkin he picked out for his sister in one of the pictures). My parents are here for the week so we got enough pumpkins for Nana and Papa too. It was a lot of fun, Jakob really liked to pick the pumpkins out, try to lift them into the wheelbarrow and of course liked riding in the wheelbarrow!
