Pumpkin patch

2010-10-25T12:44:00.000-07:00

So, when i was a kid. October meant going to a pumpkin patch, hopping in a wheel barrow and letting Dad cart us around a field until we found the perfect pumpkin. Afterward we would grab a steamy cup of Coco.
So the idea of buying a pumpkin at a grocery store was just down right depressing.
So we found a really cool "real" pumpkin patch in Pleasant Grove.

We are missing a sister.MOVE HOME EM!!!

3 generations

Me and My BABAY!!!!

And....Pose

We each got our pumpkins. Daren found his in my belly!

AH I have to tell you I was probably more excited than my 17 month old Niece. Maybe not!!!
