Pumpkin Patch 1


The "1" is there because I am a pumpkin patch addict.. I Absolutely love this time of the year.. I love the apples, Carmel apples, apple dumplings (i make dumplings a few times every year) apple cider. The pumpkins, carving, seeds.(YUM) pumpkin pie, bread and cookies... I love Sauve and going on a fall bike ride. I LOVE the colors, my house all warm and cozy.. I love walks to our field and lots of fall pictures.. I go a little crazy. I love decorating the house all Harvest like.

I usually end up at 3-5 pumpkin patches a year. this is trip number two ( i went with my motherinlaw 2 weeks ago)..
I hit all of Sauves patches, then over on cornelious pass there's two i really like, if i am really ambitious we go to the big train one in north plains, you alsocan take a boat that has a shark come out of the water(that's the boys favorite).. my favorite ones however are the old school pumpkin patches non-crowded and little commercialized...

We usually have a system where we go on the weekdays because i hate the crowds, well we tried it today, we had some free time and it was sooo pretty out i couldn't resist. however driving up and seeing all the cars lined up i second guessed.. had fun though.. did the corn maze, got muddy, had a elephant ear, hay ride, next stop Kruger's had a hot dog with Jalapenos, mustard kraut(the best) and a Carmel apple chased chickens (tanner) got chased by bees (all of us) the crowds got to me so we'll hit my fave next week on a weekday of course and hit the BIG CORN MAZE(Tanner loves that one too)!!! We also need to get Dad his BIG pumpkin....
