A few more pumpkin patch pictures. Max had the best time hunting for the perfect pumpkin. The rule is that you have to be able to carry it if you pick it out. That saves Mom and Dad's arms and wallet!
This is the "Jack o Lantern train." It was the hit of the season! It takes you around the farm and then drops you off at the huge hay pyramid/maze. You can stay out there as long as you want, then you catch the train back. Such fun. And, of course, they had farm animals out there to pet! My kids could not get enough of the animals this year!
Pumpkin carving. Mom prefers the potato head pieces, but Olivia insists. And, Jon and her love to roast the seeds for a salty snack!
Ian helped clean his guts out. Yuck! He loved it, of course!
And, just for bragging sake, here is the applesauce I canned. I learned a lot this year, doing this alone. For example, I learned that I never want to do it alone again! However, this is the yummiest applesauce that I have ever tasted, so it was worth it. Even if it will be gone by Thanksgiving!
We hope your autumn has been as lovely as ours!

i didn't know you were going to make applesauce. that is what i'll be doing this week... though i'm apprehensive about the apples i purchased. i don't know if they'll make very good applesauce. but how can you go wrong with cooked, mashed-up apples?

Maybe I will have to come out next fall and be your applesauce buddy!
