Punkin Time

I LOVE FALL!

everything is so pretty this time of year.

the leaves change colors

my house smells like pumpkin spice

and all the fun fall time decorations get put up.

but you want to know my favorite part about this season?

besides the obvious..

constant airings of Halloweentown on Disney Channel

among that and other things...

I LOVE going to the pumpkin patch!

one of my very best friends,

Lindsay invited me to go pumpkin patching with her and her husband

Mr is currently training to fight those bad guys and was unable to participate in the festivities but he was there in heart...and through picture messaging of course 
[yay for iphones]

We were so excited for our fall time pumpkin patch trip

We started out the day getting yummy drinks from Jamba Juice

Then we listened to spooky Halloween music on the trip over

to get in the spirit of course.

 Lindsay's husband really loved the Halloween music :)

so anyway 

after we were in the spirit and ready, we pulled into the pumpkin farm

we were a little skeptical

until....

the biggest pumpkin we had ever seen was right in front of us

only the biggest and best pumpkin patch could house such a pumpkin as this...right?

we had high hopes.

 But we were a little disappointed to turn the corner and find this..

I guess all the super awesome gigantic pumpkins were taken

by the 3rd and 4th graders on their field trip earlier that day.

 

 we thought maybe the spooky haunted house or confusing corn maze might make up for the lack of pumpkin patch and gigantic pumpkin finding, false advertisement..

 

the entrance to the haunted shed...

 scary? no.

weird? yes. 

as for the corn maze..well we'll call it a corn path

it had ropes to guide you through

"not to worry, you won't get lost in this maze!" 

just in case you forgot what their scary err..weird decorations consisted of.

not to worry though..

aside from all the weirdness, lack of an authentic pumpkin patch and false advertisement

we DID have fun, so much fun

we laughed..

we took fun pictures..

i bought these.. 

these were just screaming to be photographed..

mmm so much prettiness

 

warts and bumps in all their glory, but oh so fall-ish and I love it

I think the holiday season is my favorite time to take pictures

well, the moral of the story is: if you want an authentic pumpkin patch trip..

don't go to the suburbs, venture out into the land of fields :)

BUT

wherever you go to celebrate Fall time...

make it fun and memorable like we did
