Annual Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

One of our favorite things to do is go to the Pumpkin Patch as a family. It sets the tone for the upcoming holidays and it's just plain fun. We absolutely love to hand-pick our pumpkins at the St. John's Apple Orchard, ride on the wagons, go through the maze, and of course play on the huge inflatable jumpers. Oh, don't forget the donuts and apple cider.

This year was a little different, in that Jeremy wasn't able to join us for our first trip to the pumpkin patch due to his work schedule. We still went since it was getting so close to halloween, we were afraid that the pumpkins would be gone if we waited another week so, Grandma went with us and we had a good time considering how cold it was. However, everyone in our side of the state also decided to go as well so it was absolutely insane. We couldn't even get cider and donuts b/c the lines were so long. I guess that meant another trip with papa was going to have to happen! Oh, too bad! :)

Michael had a great time exploring the patch and touching all the pumpkins. He also adored riding in the wagon with Jack, his hero.
