Hickory Nut Farms

This weekend marked our 3rd annual trip to the Hickory Nut Farms pumpkin patch. We braved the cool weather in order to find the perfect pumpkin. Unfortunately, the pumpkins were not quite ready yet. I think we jumped the gun a bit on pumpkin picking, at least in the Western NC area. Most of the pumpkins were still green but we finally found one that met Grady's strict standard of approval. It was to be a "short, round" pumpkin and that's what we found.

We are going to another pumpkin patch with Grady's school later in the month. Maybe they will look a little better by then. We are all looking forward to that field trip as we missed the first field trip to an apple orchard. Our house will be filled with pumpkins by the time Halloween rolls around.

Josh and the boys in the pumpkin patch. Notice the green pumpkins??

The boys would not put down the apples to take pictures. I can't really blame them, they were great apples.

The rope swing was easier for Grady this year. Look at those skinny legs!!

Myles loved the horse too.

Cute little pigs

Grady fed the chickens some grass.
