October has always been a favorite month of mine with the cooler fall weather, warm-you-up flavors, and pumpkin everything. We've had the tradition of going to a pumpkin patch for several years now and I was sure to squeeze this year's visit in before the arrival of two more family members (yay for more October birthdays!). This year we ventured to Carpinito Brothers down in Kent due to its proximity and weekday hours. We opted for a Monday morning and had the entire patch to ourselves for a good portion of our pumpkin hunt!
NLW recently learned the word "wheelbarrow" from my mom, seeing one on a neighborhood walk, so it was extra fun to use one to haul our orange gourds around and hear him say the word. :)
Earlier in the week, my dad had commented that he liked NLW's plaid flannel. My mother, the sly and cunning woman that she is, took note of this and gifted a matching one to him for his birthday. Their matching shirts is one of my favorite photos from the day :)
If I had to bet, the next few years of pumpkin patch excursions won't be as calm :)
