Pumpkin Patch

I don't think I had ever been to a real pumpkin patch before last Sunday. Now that we have Liam we are trying to create fun family traditions. The obvious tradition for the Fall/Halloween season is visiting a pumpkin patch and decorating pumpkins. [I would also like to pick apples at an apple orchard! I think I'll wait until next year though.] Alex found Rock Creek Farm in Broomfield and we were on our way.



It was such a beautiful day! Warm with clear skies and a light breeze. Predictably, Liam fell asleep in the car on the way there. I usually don't like waking him up when he's napping, but I didn't want him to miss our first ever pumpkin patch visit. We didn't bring Jaxon with us this time (sorry Jaxon!) but we did get him his very own pumpkin. Everyone in the family got one. Now, the next step will be decorating them. That's tomorrow's project.

Love those mountains.
