Pumpkin Patch 2009

This year we had a full day of activity with the Tinneys and Joneses as our annual Pumpkin Patch Day! Everyone was kind enough to come down to Birmingham to see our little cheerleader-in-residence, Ava, cheer for her Upward football game. She loved seeing all of her cousins watching her cheer!


After the game, we headed for a quick lunch at Chick-fil-A and then off to the farmers market here in Birmingham on Finley Avenue. Dad wanted to sell pumpkins at Lakeside this year so he found a place to get them wholesale at the farmers market.



After he got loaded up, we headed to Hayden Corner, Alabama, to the Grand Old Pumpkin Patch. It was a little smaller than we are used to and the drive was not great but I liked not having an admission charge. You just pay for the activities you want to do. Of course, our kiddos wanted to do EVERYTHING!
We did the bouncy jumps, the wagon ride with pumpkins and sunflowers, the pony rides (Griffin's 1st!), the petting zoo and sampled some little "treats" along the way. Since Poppa had just purchased wholesale pumpkins, we just looted his truck to get our pumkin fix.
The best part for me and Chris was that Grammy and Poppa took our two little ones home to Roanoke so we could go to the Alan Jackson concert that night!

Sounds like fun! I love the cute matching pumpkin shirts; wish my kiddos were not "too grown up" for them anymore. I love seeing the pics you post!
