My little pumpkin at Gentry's Pumpkin Patch

We had the best weekend with Landry! We took him Gentry's Pumpkin Patch in Franklin and he had a blast! It was the cutest place and we were so impressed with all the activities they had for the kids to do. We put Landy's adorable pumpkin outfit on him that morning and as soon as he saw it he said "Melmo" aka "Elmo" b/c he saw the big eyes on it. ha! I had to explain to him that it was a pumpkin and not Elmo. So the rest of the day anytime he would hear someone say "Aww I love his pumpkin outfit" or "Oh I like this pumpkin"(referring to the pumpkins in the field) he would immediately point to his outfit and smile at them rather they were referring to his actual outfit or not. ha! We started off with letting him pick his very own pumpkin off the vine and this is the one he choose: . He thought it was so much fun to run through the field full blast but bless his heart he learned the hard way several times to pick his feet up high or the veins would trip him. They had wheelbarrells for you to load all your pumpkins in and we found us an extra special pumpkin and loaded him up. :) You can also tell in the picture where he is pushing his own barrell that he is making the car noise. :) They also had a ton of sunflowers that you could pick for free but unfortunatly since it has been so dry here lately they were all just about dead-but that didn't stop the bees from enjoying them. After we left the pumpkin field we went into the farm area with all the activities. He got to see and pet several different farm animals including goats, chickens, turkeys, pigeons, cows, and horses, played on a play set in the shape of a tractor, go on a hay ride through the farm, eat homemade pumpkin bread, play in 3 different barns, and run his little heart out through a corn maze. He had a BLAST to say the least and was worn out when we left. He could have stayed in the corn maze for at least an hour if we would have let him and played hide-n-seek! But we moved on to all the other activities b/c he was getting hot (hence his pants legs and shirt sleeves rolled up) form all the running he was doing while we chased him and vice versa. He LOVES that game right now. We are planning on taking him back one more time before Halloween if the weather stays nice for us! If you live in this area-I would highly recommend it. I picked my pumpkin and he came home with me as a tired little boy!
I LOVE FALL and everything it brings! This is definitely my favorite season. Just give me something pumpkin flavored, some spice tea, my wonderful husband and my sweet little boy with his precious smile and I will be happy. Happy FALL everyone!
