At the end of a rainy week when the temperatures were pleasant and the skies bright and sunny, we ended a school day with some pumpkin fun, :-) I took the kids to the pumpkin farm where we explored the variety of available pumpkins and gourds from traditional to heirloom and chose a few favorites.
The grounds were muddy, but that didn't keep us from weaving our way through the corn maze.
The spicy smell from the snack shack was so enticing we couldn't help but to discover the tasty treats that were inside and to purchase a few fall favs to take home.
The kids had fun climbing on huge tractors, riding on barrel horses, playing a bit of corn hole, visiting the farm animals, and relaxing on the porch for a bit. Seriously, the weather was perfect! With our picks loaded up, we headed home to share our findings and to make pumpkin shakes--an autumn tradition that goes back to Pumpkin Festival at Oregon Hill. :-) The younger kids had yet to taste these epic blends and it was high time they were introduced to them.
Not surprisingly, the shakes were a hit. :-) Our next round of pumpkin fun will be in carving...stay tuned! :-)
