Pumpkin Patch 2012

 
 
There are so many fun things to do in New England once Summer departs and cooler temps set in. Although King Tony strongly dislikes the winter/cold weather, the kidlets really enjoy the Fall adventures planned for them including visiting the pumpkin patch and taking a hayride or two. So, off to the patch we went on a gorgeous Fall Sunday to select several pumpkins to decorate our home--inside and out.  The kids got to eat warm pumpkin spice donuts followed by a hayride, hay maze, and of course, learning from King Tony how to pick out the perfect orange gourd. :)

The light shines especially bright on this group of beautiful souls....
 


Alec munches on donuts as we prepare for a hayride.  Happy day!

The kids got another lesson from Tony in pumpkin selection. Which pumpkins are the best for carving, for table decoration, and which ones to avoid! This year, he went all out and we needed a wheelbarrow to carry our 'booty.'  The kids opted to fill up the wheelbarrow with their favorites, and Tony only had to veto a few... :)



Looking for the perfect pumpkins, different colors, different sizes....
 
Capping our Fall fun was a visit with cousin Christian. We introduced him to the Boston Beer Works (blueberry and a variety of stouts) and he's already indicated plans to return for more next year. :)

Happy Pumpkin Season!
