Single Palms Pumpkin Patch

We headed to a local Fresno pumpkin patch, "out in the country" is how the kids like to say it vs. the one located in town with tons of rides. We got to cut our pumpkins straight from the vine, walked through a corn maze, and take a hay ride! The kids had a blast!

Dad and Ashton in search for the perfect pumpkin

Violet and her "cheese"

Tim didn't even pretend to cheese. I think he might have been kicking the dirt.

His "cheese" with his picked pumpkin! He really did stop and started pulling at this pumpkin.

Ashton's picked perfect pumpkin. It still has green on it, his favorite color of course!

All three self-chosen pumpkins

Tim found some corn in the corn maze

As good as it gets with all three kids

I so wanted this picture to turn out! Almost!

Getting ready to carve their pumpkins

Ashton did a good job cleaning out the guts!

Violet wasn't as excited about getting dirty

Tim was more interested in climbing the tree

Cheese!

The finished carved pumpkins! Looks like Mommy ended up doing a majority of the cutting. We used the carving pumpkin kits and I didn't realize until trying to get the "discarded" portions out that their were ratings. These were 2/4 hard. I should have made them picked the easiest ones!
