Pumpkin Patch 2012

 We went on our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch.  The wagon is getting smaller each year or else the girls are growing fast!
 The girls love it here.  They like the mazes and all the pumpkins and displays
 Sasha rides in the wagon about 90% of the time.  Leeza will get a 1 minute ride every once in a while.
 They love this maze.  I like it because I can just sit on the straw bales and they can go through it over and over and over again.
 My little flowers.

 Yep, that wagon is getting way too small.
 Growing a little more each year.  My little cuties are approaching 4 ft tall.
 Leeza took this photo.  She is a pretty good photographer.
 The tram ride through the pumpkin patch.
 One final bunch of mazes then it is off to the patch to pick out pumpkins.
 Most of the plant mazes were sketchy this year as the drought made it hard to grow thick plants,
 Many many different types of gourds and pumpkins here.

 And off to the patch to finally get our pumpkins.  Of course, we have to go WAY out in the field to get the best ones.
 The search is on for that perfect pumpkin or two.
 Teamwork is necessary as these pumpkins can be heavy.
 Needing still more pumpkins.  We ended up with 5 pumpkins.
 It is a very large pumpkin patch. 
 They also have animals.  The girls liked the sheep and goats.
And to end the day, we have to have the pumpkin flavored ice cream.
