Saturday we took the boys to the pumpkin patch at the United Methodist Church. Of course I really wish we could have gone to a REAL pumpkin patch, but unfortunately our great town of Fort Myers is lacking that experience. I've actually never been to a real pumpkin patch so it will be a new adventure for all of us when we finally do get to go one of these years.
The boys had a great time though. Rylan thought they were so cool and kept yelling out, Mommy look a "puhtin". Aidan was more interested in attacking the bugs that were flying around. At one point I saw him throw a small pumpkin at the patch to try and hit the bug. Oh, he is such a boy! We had already decided that the boys could pick out a small pumpkin to take home and we would buy our large one at another location. I've seen the huge sized ones on sale at Publix for $5.00. The large ones at the church were anywhere from $18-35! That price is just crazy to me. Besides, for me it's all about the pictures.
On the way home Aidan started saying, "oh no, Ry is a mess". Sure enough when I turned around, he was covered in pumpkin pieces. First I have to say that our little Rylan is a picker. He picks at everything he can. It sounds gross, but he picks at his scabs, anything sticky on the floor, He's picked at a foam board before making a huge mess, really just about anything that he can dig his little nails into. He had found a soft spot on the pumpkin where it was bruised and picked at it until he made his way to the inside where the seeds and goo are.
Here's some pictures of our time at the pumpkin patch!
