This year Cam and I decided to visit Stoney Ridge on a week day. We wanted to avoid long lines and visit the pumpkin patch at our own pace. So we took a day off last week and hit the pumpkin patch during a lucky break in the rainy, windy weather!
Clem explored all the rusty old farm equipment,
participated in all the photo opportunities,
played cowgirl,
measured her height,
climbed fences,
and saddled herself a hay horse.
We took a wagon ride through the Christmas tree farm down to the pumpkin patch.
This year we decided we weren't leaving until we found the perfect pumpkin. Clementine's focus on this lasted less than a minute and she was off in the Christmas tree Wonderland, picking dandelions and blowing their puffs every which way.
I finally lured her back over to us with promises of lollipops and wheelbarrow rides.
Even though this picture is out of focus, I love it so much. This picture totally captures their dynamic of loud, rough-housing silliness.
After we found the perfect pumpkin, we headed back up to the farm for pie and ice cream, rope swings and tree-climbin'!
A great day was had by all of us. We lucked out with the weather. Everyone was in good spirits and we found ourselves a great pumpkin to carve for Halloween!
