Pumpkin Patch

Pumpkin Patch in Boulder

Pumpkins, Corn Mazes, cornucopia's, hay Rides, and Farm Animals oh my, IT IS FALL!!! One of my all time favorite times of the whole year. This weekend we did our famous trip to the pumpkin patch to get our fall outdoor goods and to take our annual pumpkin patch family pictures.  Belle couldn't make the trip as she is getting too old and hates to be out in the heat or in the car for too long.  This year we also hit up a new pumpkin patch that was great.  They had lots of cute farm animals, a corn maze, tractors and much more.  In true Sill family pumpkin picking fashion Frankie tried eating pumpkins, Lucy took a big bathroom break and Brad and I were yelling at each other to keep the dogs calm.  All fun when you take 4 legged furry friends with TONS of real kids around.  They did do very well though and out of the 50+ pictures my mom took we were able to get some good shots.  The weather also couldn't have been any better, it was about 75 degrees.  I have just been enjoying as much out side time can as I can as the colors on the trees with the mountains as a back drop have been just beautiful.

The dogs picked out the pumpkins

We are excited to get all of our outside fall decorations set out for Halloween.  It is our tradition that we make yummy flavored pumpkin seeds from the carving of the pumpkins.  Frankie is obsessed with the pumpkin taste and loves when we carve them as he gets a little bit.  Now the hard thing is to decide how I want to flavor the seeds this year.  Hopefully this year we will have lots of trick-o-treaters as we have a TON of little kids in the neighborhood.  Yeah for fall I just love this time of year!!
