Pickin' Pumpkins

Last weekend, October 15th, Auntie Lauren and Uncle Jordan came and gave us a visit once more before baby boy joins us. :) We took our infamous trip to the Pumpkin Patch together!!! We look forward to it every year! I cannot wait to continue the tradition once we BOTH have kiddos and it can be a family event with the little ones...SO excited for that!! (wink, wink you two, haha)

This year we took a trip to Bill's Berry Farm (near Prosser) to pick out our pumpkins. We hit the road with Sbucks Caramel Apple Spices in hand -YUM- and couldn't wait to arrive at the patch for some favorite Fall fun!

Bill's Berry Farm is absolutely awesome! This was the first year we tried this patch and I think it's our new favorite. :) They had SO many fun family oriented activities:

-fire pits you can reserve for making smores and relaxing after picking pumpkins
-3 pumpkin patches with different sized pumpkins (the Wee-Bee's for the little critters, pie pumpkins - medium sized for baking, and the large pumpkins for carving!
-apple sling-shots where you could win a dozen FRESH homemade pumpkin donuts if you made it through the donut hole (Stephen made it through and WON us a dozen!)
-make your own apple cider
-a LARGE mystery corn maze where you have you solve mysteries using clues along the way to find your way out. We didn't have enough time, but it looked like a lot of fun!
-hay rides and kiddy tractor ride

It was a lot of fun. Baby boy had his first trip ever pumpkin patch experience (in momma's womb of course) and even got his own Wee-Bee pumpkin! We are excited to carve our pumpkins and welcome baby in the next couple weeks.

Wee-Bee punkin for our Little Pumpkin! :)

Picking out our pumpkins and comparing Lauren's pumpkin to the little pumpkin in my belly. Well, not so little - but he's our pumpkin! ;)

We WON a free dozen of homemade Pumpkin Donuts - they were delicious!

I would highly recommend this patch to anyone in the area! Here is a link to their website: http://www.billsberryfarm.com/ It is free to get into the farm and you pay based on what you want to do. So worth the trip out there! :) We are looking forward to taking our little one back there next year for his 1st official Pumpkin Patch visit.
