Last Saturday, Eric, Ramsey, and I visited the local pumpkin patch, just a few miles away. It was the last weekend for the patch and we had a nice sunny (but a little windy) day for the venture.
This lovely treasure patch has a plethora of various types of pumpkins, squash, and gourds to choose from. They also have hay rides, cart rides for the kids, nicely-decorated photo opp areas, and friendly horses for the kiddos to pet.
At first, it might have been overwhelming for little Ramsey, as he looked around the acres of plant life in amazement.
He certainly didn't waste any time though and "got to work", finding squash, pumpkins, and gourds.
Ramsey was so busy looking around and gathering treasures that he wasn't interested in taking pictures where he had to "be still and just smile". I tried!
He found this beautiful pumpkin which he thought he could pick up. ...turns out, he needs a few more muscles to be able to grab it and go!
He found this fun green gourd too.... which he apparently adored, as he kept kissing it on his way back to the wagon.
The search continued for the best pumpkins.
There were weeds everywhere. Ramsey contemplated for a long time, whether or not to tromp into them. I'm happy he decided otherwise!
Now that we have these wonderful pumpkins and gourds, we have "projects". I will be painting a set of pumpkins to look like BB8 from the new Star Wars movie. Eric plans to create a detailed carving of either Darth Vader or Kylo Ren from Star Wars. Ramsey is pretty excited; Star Wars is his favorite!
