pumpkin patch bust

So, I usually love the pumpkin patch. The beautiful colors make for pretty pictures and usually you can go on a warm/sunshiney day to enjoy it all. Our schedule was so packed this fall that we couldn't make it! Finally, on Oct 29, with cold temps, on a Tuesday afternoon, we made it!! And just for the sake of keeping it real- it was a huge bust.

The pumpkins were all rotted out, Max didn't want to be there, Ross was grumpy because he had to drive in and meet us after work and there were good pumpkins to buy at the front but I was trying to get them out in the fields and well...

Here's Max complaining!


Zoey wanted to be there and was a good sport about it since there was hardly a pumpkin to be found.




Still grumpy...


The best we could find!




This made me think of the movie The Birds!


So part of the problem was that our October was crazy. I have a rule that I don't get pumpkins until October. So, my note to self, is to get over it and next year go in September if the opportunity arises.

We didn't even carve the pumpkins because we only had time after Halloween and by then it just seemed silly. Oh well.
