This week, I'm following the prompt: 5.) Show us your pumpkin patch.
If there is a season my son and I love, it is Autumn. We love the cooler weather, colorful foliage, and of course -- pumpkins! Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin coffee... Autumn is great, but it makes me fat. We also enjoy decorating with pumpkins. Pumpkin lights, ceramic pumpkins, pictures of pumpkins (his favorite thing to draw), pumpkin towels, pumpkin spice soap... if it has a pumpkin on it, we probably have it around the house. It's no surprise that Josh's favorite color is orange, and that my nickname for him is "Punkin" (a combination of pumpkin and punk, which he can definitely be sometimes).
So, it makes sense that one of our favorite Autumn activities is going down to the pumpkin patch. We have a tradition of going to Schartner Farms, taking a hay ride out to the corn maze, and picking out some pumpkins. It's always a great time.
Ready for the tractor!

How do we get out of here?
There is a new theme every year. This year's was sports, complete with a Green Monstah!
And Tom Brady, of course!
I snacked on a fresh apple, Josh danced with his farm animals, and we had a lovely hayride. The life!
Inspired by Kat's post, here's a look back through the years at a boy and his pumpkins:
