Pumpkins!

We've been busy visiting farms and carving pumpkins. Our first trip was to Kelsey Creek Farm with Derick's preschool. We were blessed with beautiful weather and had lots of fun seeing Joy the 600 lb pig and making beds for the horses. Then, the kids picked out their pumpkins to take home.

Our next trip was to Thomasson Pumpkin patch and farm in the Black Diamond area. We had another beautiful day and the activities on this farm were wonderful. There was a corn box (a huge area filled with dry corn kernels. Think ball pit. The kids LOVED it), animals to pet, a play area, a hay ride, a corn maze, and even some tractor-like trikes to ride.

Corn maze....it was CRAZY!!

Darla and Bradly, so sweet!

Then, we visited Carpinito Bros Farm in Kent with the family to get gourds for our annual Peery Pumpkin Carving night. It was rainy and VERY busy, so we stuck to the pumpkin patch and then hightailed it home for the main event: CARVING!!

Almost all the pumpkins, ready for their photo shoot. I sure do love my pumpkins! I still have one left over from all the farms we visited that I think is going to be pie or maybe pumpkin soup!
