Finding the Great Pumpkin at Baughers

After we delivered our picked apples to the car, we boarded the tractor to the pumpkin patch.


Immediately upon departing the tractor, the boys spotted the giant pile of hay bales leading to a slide and they were all over it.  Underwear showing and all, the climbing commenced.



And, down the slide they went.




We had told the boys that they had to pick a pumpkin that they could carry and they were off in search of the Great Pumpkin.




Putting everything he has into it. Knees bent and all.  He actually could pick it up but carrying it around was not happening.


Success! Who said that pumpkins had to be orange.  Since the pumpkins were so picked over, the boys had to settle on green ones once they realized that the orange were too heavy.


Working hard to get another one to take home.


It took Connor a good bit of time to catch up to the idea of getting a green one and had a lot of trouble with slipping and falling in the vines and his general indecisiveness.  His jeans were so muddy but he continued his search.  At one point, he asked me to stop laughing at him but it was just so comical....




 The pumpkin has been selected.



Jackson was ready to get back to the farm to check out the animals.  That smile.  He had an undiagnosed sinus infection so we were incredibly happy with how well he handled himself despite being sick.


And, a look back at their 1st trip to the pumpkin patch from 3 years ago....
