The Great Pumpkin

We made our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch this weekend. The fall weather was perfect for our search to find the great pumpkin.

I love that they have this sign so we can see how much they grow each year...last year they couldn't even stand!

No farm would be complete without an array of animals. The boys love to make animal sounds and did a pretty good job of matching the right sound with the corresponding animal. When in doubt they called it a dog and barked at it {there were quite a few "woof woof's" and we got a few chuckles from the crowd} M's aren't their strongest letter, so they said "boo" to the baby cow.

We searched all over to find the great pumpkin....

And in the end the boys {with our help} chose two small pumpkins that were just right!

As long as we're on the subject of pumpkins....If you are lucky enough to have The Fresh Market in your town, you must stop by and pick up a loaf of their pumpkin chocolate chip pound cake and some pumpkin spice coffee. They are super yummy. In fact, my mouth is burned because I am too impatient to wait for my coffee to cool {it is that good!}.

You got some great pictures:) I think it is hysterical that they say "boo" instead of "moo" - how sweet! I remember S use to say everything was a dog too, I wonder why they do that?? Oh, and the pumpkin spice coffee sounds SO GOOD!!!
