Pumpkin Patch

This morning after Colin's soccer game we headed over to the pumpkin patch.  (Colin won his game of course and had a great time.  Its so fun to watch him play) The kids had a blast picking pumpkins. Brent told Colin he had to be able to pick up his pumpkin (if you remember the pumpkin Colin wanted last year) And Colin tried to find the heaviest/biggest one he could pick up. Of course.
But he picked a perfectly round GREEN pumpkin.  I mean was there any doubt after seeing pumpkins can also come in Green?
Joel was incredibly cute.  He's always cute but the expression on his face as he ran from pumpkin to pumpkin was priceless.

Noah and Colin found a rotten pumpkin that was gross and squishy.
 Joel needed to take a closer look.
 
We went on a horse drawn hay ride and Colin got to shuck his own popcorn. And then we left.  Colin wanted to stay and do the corn maze and all the kids games but Joel was ready for a nap so we might go back and do the rest another day. But for now our green pumpkin is proudly on display in our dinning room.

I love it. You guys are bundled up and Colin is in shorts and flip flops! I have a green pumpkin too! I'm not sure it will turn orange in the next two weeks, but it is the size of a basketball now. The two best things that grew in my yard this year was the pumpkin and the hot pepper plant, neither of which I planted!
