{Pumpkin Patch Extravaganza}

IMG_5788_edited-1

The past couple of years we have gotten our pumpkins at a cute local place, but this year I wanted to mix it up a litte, and do the whole picking it out in the field kinda deal (we did this when caleb was little and loved it~!). So I did a little research and found a really fun patch called The Black Island Farm! So Friday we went to this fabulous pumpkin patch! It was a beautiful sunny day--70 degrees--and perfect for picking out some rad pumpkins. They took us out on a tractor--to fields where there were pumpkins as far as the eye could see--and then we got to pick whatever pumpkin we wanted. Caleb wanted to get one that he could pick up and hold--of course. He loved every second of it. Zoee wasn't really sure what to think--but we had a lot of fun. My sis and her fam came, and so did my parents--these kids always have lots of spectators at most events--which is so fun :) It was a really great outing!! picts aren't too fab--but here are a few...

Looks super fun! I have never heard of that place. It makes it much cooler that you get to ride a tractor out there...fun for the kids! I want to go to one soon.

That is a great looking pumpkin patch. Great back drop for fall pictures.

I didn't comment on your living room photos but it looks amazing. I want to come over and see it if you don't mind. I love your style!

SO much fun! We need to get out and do some fun Halloween-y stuff. Although, it seems better when you have cute little kids to tote along with you!
