Hayride & Pumpkin Patch

One of the local nurseries is hosting their annual hayride and pumpkin pick this month, but they added a new twist...if you bring a donation to the food bank, your pumpkin is free! Well, that sounded like just the sort of thing I like - a fun fall activity, free pumpkins, and a good cause. We piled into the car on a gorgeous autumn afternoon with canned and boxed goods in hand and drove down for a visit to the great pumpkin patch.

We waited in line for 30 minutes, all in varying stages of anticipation.

Finally, our chariot arrived...












and we climbed on board.


There were lots of pumpkins to choose from...

and everyone found the perfect one.

Then it was back in line
to give our pumpkins a new home.
