Climb aboard the wagon, find a good spot on a bale of hay, squeeze between your grandchildren, and let the tractor take you away…. over hills, through the cornfield, past the pond, beneath the murder of crows that were startled in the corn, to the tangled vines of a pumpkin patch…. acres of pumpkins and gourds.
Two tractors and four wagon loads from our grandchildren’s preschool were ready for the bumpy expedition that twisted and turned through the fields.
Parents and grandparents, siblings and more, all armed with cameras and smart phones fanned out across fields to help youngster find the perfect pumpkin, all shapes, sizes and colors, and to capture that moment with a photo.
Me included…
A perfect pumpkin for us and small enough for a little tyke to carry….
Then the bumpy journey back up to Farmer Zach’s Farm to visit the cornfields in search of the best and most colorful ears of corn.
Ahhhh…. what an adventure! Making fall memories with little people…
It looks like fun. We have a pumpkin patch near us and it is fun seeing all the pumpkins in a row as I drive by. Cheers 🎃

It is a happy sight. I’m a bit surprised they were not hurt by the drought.

There weren’t many hayrides to enjoy in Virginia growing up but I hope to make up for it in New England. Such a happy day!

Wow, just like Virginia (almost!) Our biggest pumpkin farm was giving all you can carry for $20!! It was a great year for pumpkins. I cannot believe that little one can carry a pumpkin already! Great blog.

Sounds like a good deal if I didn’t have to walk far. I wonder how many I could carry for $20.
