Burt's Pumpkin Patch

We made our third annual trip to Burt's Pumpkin Patch last week. After two years, we have realized that the best time to go to Burt's is during the week. Nick has been traveling a lot lately, so we were so happy to have a long weekend with him and a wonderful day at the pumpkin patch without the crowds.

Charlie was excited to go this year and liked the idea of having the special task of picking out pumpkins for the entire family. He liked running through the rows and rows of pumpkins and really did not sit still unless he was in the wheel barrow. We offered to take him on the hay ride, but Charlie was less than interested. Who knows why, but he just did not want to go.

Jack loves being outside, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. It was a perfect fall day. He was happy to sit back and relax in hi stroller and take in all of the sights. He liked standing next to the big pumpkins and even played the drums on one with Charlie. He was thrilled each time we showed him one of the little pumpkins, and decided they looked rather tasty.

After we had picked all of our pumpkins, we headed over to the picnic area and had our lunch under the falling leaves next to a stream. It was a great end to a really perfect day with my boys.
