In Search of the Great Pumpkin!

On the first weekend of October we headed to Kansas City to visit the pumpkin patch.  It has started to become part of our tradition to start with lunch at Winsteads so we headed there first.  After filling our bellies it was time to head over to Suburban and the pumpkin patch.  My kids started with the face painting so they are showing off their  pirate faces for all of the pictures.  Then, it was aboard the hayride to head out and choose our pumpkins.  They enjoyed the painted hay bales and the younger ones enjoyed the houses and of course they spent some time choosing the just right pumpkin for carving.  Then after a ride on the military vehicle it was time to ride golf carts and play on the playground while I got to do a little flower shopping.  The weather was pretty good this year and they enjoyed their time together as much as the activities.  

Yummy lunch at Winsteads! 

ARRRR!
