The Pumpkin Patch

One of the many things I enjoy about being a parent is establishing family traditions. Every October Brady and I go with Harmoni and Tara on a hayride to pick pumpkins. Two years ago we found a really great place to do this called "Linder Farms". At the farm you do everything from picking your own pumpkin to playing in bounce houses! This past year was especially fun because Nate, Jeff and Izzy came too!

When the kids got on this ride the all burst into the biggest smiles imaginable. It was like they were in heaven! I have never seen the three of them this happy at the exact same time!

At the pumpkin patch they have warm, homemade doughnuts! You can see Brady literally shoveling them in! Another highlight is the cow train. Uncle Jeff was a good sport and went on it with the kids.

There is also a petting zoo. They had a little pygmy goat roaming around for the kids to pet. Once we finished looking at the animals it was time to find the perfect pumpkin! Nate helped Brady navigate through all of the bumps and stickers!
