Picking Our Pumpkins At Tim's

We were off to Tim' Pumpkin Patch to get pumpkins to decorate our house, and get into the Halloween spirit. Pat and Sissy weren't too much in the spirit though.....no one would go out to the field to pick their pumpkin. Brian was thankful he didn't have to push a wheelbarrel full of pumpkins and kids for a mile.

Rather than picking pumpkins the kids were into all the other things there were to do, like climbing on hay, riding tractors, riding the giant ram, digging in corn, and looking at all the farm animals.
Patrick figured out the cool contraption to feed the goats when they were on the roof of the chicken coop. Now if only the goats were up there to eat all the food we dumped on the roof!
Much to Patrick's relief, Donna, the mummy that was in the outhouse last year who we have a personal relationship with was not there this year. I think Donna was the reason why Patrick was in tears about going to the pumpkin patch before we left. This year there was a witch in the outhouse.....way less scary.
Patrick got to ride home in a "jungle". Clearly the best part of the day!
When we got home we used all our pumpkins to decorate the front of our house. It is the best job we have done yet!
