Mae ended up in a first-grade class this year and so missed the traditional kindergarten pumpkin patch excursion. So, a couple of days before Halloween, we decided to venture out on our own for a surprisingly sunny day at the pumpkin patch.
In an effort to keep things low key, I picked Scholz Farm, where I had gone with the school during the boys' days in Kindergarten. I figured we'd save the more theme-park type farms for a year when Kevin could attend along with us.
Grandma and baby again in front (kinda) of the giant hay pile (also the favorite play spot).
The boys comparing their height to several fat pumpkins.
And Mae doing the same
I should probably mention that Brooks was at Grandma's Halloween daycare party, in case anyone wonders why he was so rudely omitted from the pictures. We did have a friend along, though, as is somewhat evident in the pic below.
Cute, James.
Mae and Porter as two of the seven dwarfs; although I'm not well-versed enough on the subject to recognize which ones they are supposed to be.
Mae with the beautiful, albeit slightly large headed, Snow White (or is it Wendy???)
The kids pondering the meaning of the strange little pumpkin fish. This would probably be a good time to mention that Scholz Farm is known for its painted pumpkin displays. This display in particular is probably my favorite--I especially liked the "Do Not Swim" sign.
Just a grouchy old pumpkin man.
And the very short but also completely free maze that we attempted to get lost in.
Almost ready to pick our pumpkins and go.
Just as soon as we agree on a wheelbarrow.
What a fun day!

Here is Grandma Loo (and attached Baby Joseph) looking out toward the actual pumpkin patch.
