Pumpkin Picking!

 Oh October, how we have missed you.... and all the fun traditions this month holds.

We had a gorgeous day on Saturday... a terrific day for pumpkin picking at the local pumpkin ranch!

The Pumpkin Ranch always has some nice fun photo opps!   And, we get to visit Mr. Horse.    They have hay rides and hot chocolate, and you can go anywhere on their little acreage and pick your own pumpkins, gourds, and good-eating squash.

That said... it was SO NICE out that there were bees... everywhere! LOTS and LOTS of bees.   Ever since Ramsey's "bee incident" at school (he got stung right before he got on the bus to come home), he is scared to death of bees.   So.... we didn't stay for hot chocolate and hay rides.   We QUICKLY picked out some pumpkins, paid, and got out of there.

The nursery just down the road had been promoting their new colored pumpkins, so we had to stop in there as well.   We did manage to pick out some pink, camo, and white pumpkins before Ramsicle decided it was time to make like a tree.

We got a few smiles out of him though at their photo area.  :-)
