It has been a tradition of mine to take the kids to a pumpkin patch every October. I usually take them in the middle of the month, but life has been a bit busy lately in the Garmon residence, so instead we ended up going the day before Halloween. That meant fewer crowds, which was good, but also fewer pumpkins, which wasn't so great since I wanted to take some spectacular pictures of my kids having fun amongst all the different colored pumpkins. I had to be happy with what I got, especially since my kids were really looking forward to playing together rather than posing for pictures.
I took Jefferson, James, and Charlton out of school on Thursday, and after having them sleep in, we headed to the pumpkin patch. Illyria joined us in the fun, but after a while she got tired and hungry. I hadn't taken many pictures, but that was a good stopping point since the kids wanted to go jump in the bean tub and play hide and seek in the maze. I came mostly for Charlton who had been asking about the pumpkin patch for weeks, but in reality all of my kids had a great time. Just being together is fun enough for them; add to that a little bit of running through dark tunnels and jumping into bean smelly tubs, and they were in heaven.
