Yesterday the whole house drove out to Blue Lake to visit a local pumpkin patch! I must’ve been in the 3rd or 4th grade the last time I visited one, so needless to say I had a ton of fun. The farm was huge, but it didn’t take us long at all to find our picks. Pictured above is me, Katie and Jamie with our choice pumpkins.
We got to enjoy a bumpy hay ride there and back, full of pumpkin-smuggling hobbits. There was also a corn maze, but it cost $5 per person and from the hay ride I could only spot two sunflowers that didn’t look like they had given up on life. Definitely not the most exciting looking corn maze!
When we came home most everyone enjoyed a hot cup of tea while watching a baseball game on TV. All in all, a perfect autumn day.
Lots ‘n’ lots more photos from the exciting day on Flickr.

A pumpkin is a squash but not all squash are pumpkins, so you were right both times ;)
