I wanted to compare my belly to a pumpkin since I feel like I ate one. There is a pumpkin patch close, so we went up to pick out a couple of pumpkins to decorate our patio until we carve them for Halloween. We're afraid to put them on the front porch since we have some teens that roam the streets.
This is one of the neatest patches I have ever been to. You drive into their farm and stop at a mail box to pick up your directions and a pair of garden shears. Then you follow the signs out to the field that they are cutting pumpkins in. There had to be 200+ acres of pumpkins. Once you're at the fields, you pick a spot that you want to hunt in and park. We tromped around in the field and looked for LARGE, ROUND pumpkins. We finally found two that we liked. Poor Matt had to carry them back to the car. You pay by the pumpkin when you exit. They also had a petting farm and corn mazes, but we opted to only do the pumpkin picking. We also got two small pumpkins which I think I will try to cook.
I need to get a photo of Ranger with the pumpkins so you can see their sizes. I will try for that tomorrow and post the photo. Unfortunately he didn't get to participate in the activities since we weren't sure if this was a dog friendly place. But next year we plan to go dogs and baby in tow!
Here is a photo of the hill covered in pumpkins. You may have to open it up large to see all the orange dots!
