Pumpkin Patch

Now that Wesley is a little older, Greg insisted that we get pumpkins to carve. Last year we did not do it because quite frankly I was pregnant and cranky and I did not want the mess. So, this year we set out to The Berry Ranch to pick out pumpkins. We hopped on the the tractor pulled hay ride, in search of the perfect pumpkins... Greg and Wesley on the way to the field of pumpkins. Wesley loved the hay ride, and looking at all the fields around us. He especially liked the tractors that pulled the trailers.

Max and Mommy on the hay ride. Please note that this is the last time that we saw him happy on this little adventure. After this picture he started crying and did not stop until we had returned to the place where we paid for our pumpkins. And when I say cry, I mean full blown squealing temper tantrum and all because he wanted a nap.

Wesley holding his pumpkin...the rule was that he had to be able to carry it himself (in order to get the super cheap price). This is the only picture from the pumpkin field because Greg was in charge of the camera and with Max in melt down mode, I was rushing them through the selection process.Max finally settled down, really I think he just gave up. Poor kid, next year we will not be making this trip without naps. These last two are my favorites...Greg got us a wheelbarrow to get the pumpkins to the car. Wesley loved riding in it with three pumpkins...Max got a free one just for being with us and Greg was able to pick a huge one...Again, he just had to be able to carry it from the field to claim the great prices.
