We had such a great time at our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch - there is nothing quite like this to really get you into the mood of fall (and Halloween of course). Last year we did apple picking and a little wondering around but this year the boys were really into it. Almost upon arrival we had to ride the hayride all around the scenic property then at the end they drop you off in the middle of the pumpkin patch and you can pick whichever one you like. The boys really loved this and were very judicious in picking what they thought was the very best one. Of course we need some practice with things like putting down pumpkins easily and not running off into a field or in front of a tractor - ooops. After we picked pumpkins, the boys played in the pumpkin tunnel, played on a playground made of hay bales and lived it up in the country. Yes they were dirty and muddy to beat the band even though the weather was perfect. At the end of the day we browsed all the large and decorated pumpkins at the shop and all had a warm home made doughnut which the boys seemed to love almost as much as mom. The quote of the day was when we were riding the hay ride and Nino kept saying "toot toot" very loudly - he clearly thought we were on a train and it was really cute. Alessandro tells me that his favorite part was the hayride and seeing the barn but secretly think the doughnut might have been tops.... HA! XOXOXOXO
