Bronwell Craziness!!: A Day At The Pumpkin Patch = Lots of Pumpkins Brought Home And A Carving Party To Follow!

The girls and I went to the Pumpkin Patch this afternoon. We wanted to go as a family but knew the lines would be crazy on the weekends. The girls had a fantastic time! The weather was windy but yet sunny so we didn't have hardly any crowds or lines. I was expecting more with it being so close to Halloween. We didn't make it here last year and I am so glad that we were able to squeeze it in this year. Definitely worth the time to drive out here.

They were pretty good about taking pictures in the beginning of the afternoon....

They loved putting their faces in these cutouts. Most of them they were too short for but this one had a bucket behind it so Addison could be the boy! lol

They have a pumpkin weigh in here too. I think the biggest weighed 1500 pounds or something crazy like that. This one was neat because it actually is a real pumpkin someone carved.

On the train that goes around part of the pumpkin patch

There were all kinds of little scenes for the kids to see when you rode the train.

They LOVED LOVED the cow train! This one is just for kids which made them want to ride it even more!

HUGE pyramid of pumpkins!

Ashleigh was sooo funny here! We were waiting to get on the carousel and she wanted to touch these. She got close then ran away! My scaredy cat girl!

Addison decided to run and touch them just like Ashleigh and she was scared too! My two scaredy cat girls! lol

Waiting, oh so patiently, with our Halloween Oreo like cookies, for the hayride to come back.

Addison was in full cheese mode!

Ashleigh was just taking it all in.

AWW! Addison was not feeling Ashleigh grabbing her for a pic! lol

The coolest part of the hayride was when you came around a corner and there were merry golds for as far are you could see. The smell was just amazing!

OH MY GOODNESS! They have flowers with butterflies and caterpillars!!!

This was so cool! Just out of the blue here you have all the flowers!

Queen Addison of the Pumpkins 2008!

Queen Ashleigh of the Pumpkins 2008

Ashleigh DIDN'T want Addison to help with her basket. We had to upgrade to a wheel barrow we got so many pumpkins!

Ashleigh loves flowers! She kept wanting to pick them! lol

Addison had a great time climbing on the pumpkins and then laying on a few as well.

I have never even heard of a blue pumpkin.....pretty neat.

Our selection for the day!

Addison thinks she can move the wheel barrow...and believe it or not she got one side up before I stopped her in fear that the whole think would tip over on her!

After we got home, we waited for Rick to get home and then the fun began!!

Addison wasn't too excited to clean the nasty stuff out....

Ashleigh was even more mortified that she had to touch all that nastiness! She kept going..."Gross" which made Addison say it too and turn her pumpkin over and bang on it from the bottom hoping all the insides would come out! My true divas!

Daddy on the other hand LOVED all that goop on his hands!

I ended up cleaning out the girls' pumpkins and mine too. Then I had to clean the seeds for toasted pumpkin seeds. I am thinking somewhere here I got the shaft! lol
