October- Pumpkin Patch and Pumpkin Carving

At the end of October Rob was given a Friday off from school so we took full advantage of that day off to take a day out just our little family. We headed into Farmington New Mexico to a fun little pumpkin patch. I had been there when I was teaching for a field trip and was so excited to bring the kiddos there. We were able to go on a tractor ride, walk through a corn maze, feed goats, and play in a pit of corn kernels. :) The kids had a great time and its always fun to build little traditions with the kiddos.

 Looks like Jackson found his
 and so did Branson...
 And there's Rylie still looking for that perfect pumpkin!

The next night we had family over for dinner and a carving party. I have "issues" with needing a ton of pumpkin seeds. So, yes, the kiddos all got one from the pumpkin patch and then our little garden at home also grew four pumpkins. So we had 7 pumpkins to carve along with Jamie's pumpkins. But, we had a lot of fun and Rylie and Jackson actually took over the knives this year and carved some pumpkins!
 These four pumpkins are from our garden

 Kynnlie found a marker and drew on everyones pumpkin :)
