pumpkin patch

A couple of Sundays ago, we went up to the Fort Collins area to visit my good friend Lindsay, her husband Justin, and their 2 1/2-year-old son Jeremiah. After a yummy lunch at Mad Greens, we headed to the pumpkin patch! When we arrived, we had a quick photo shoot by the pumpkin display. Doesn't Caleb look thrilled?


Then we took a tractor ride out to the field to pick out our pumpkins! The lighting in many of our pictures was pretty terrible, but here's one of Caleb and his daddy in the pumpkin patch anyway (yes, Caleb was sleeping).


After we'd picked out a couple of pumpkins, we rode the tractor back to our cars. Here's Jeremiah waiting for the tractor with one of the pumpkins we picked out (notice the little one he has stashed in his pocket as well).


The following Tuesday, Jason's sister Ali had a pumpkin carving party at her apartment in Denver. We brought along our pumpkins and carved away! It had been years since I'd carved a pumpkin so I had a blast. :-) Here are the final products...
