Traditions: Pumpkin Picking

posted on Saturday, October 31, 2015 by Kyra

Last year when I was pregnant we took a trip up to Greenbluff to pick our fall pumpkins; this year we got to take Cash on his first pumpkin-picking excursion!


Nick’s parents came with us so we were able take some really fun photos!




We went to a pumpkin patch first that had a little pony, a big pig and two little Shetland sheep. Cash reached right out and touched the pony’s nose and he LOVED watching the pig root around in the mud. The little sheep where shy, but Cash peeked into their little pen and watched them huddle together.







I always seem to forget that pumpkins have prickly stems and leaves so my thought of letting Cash crawl around in the dirt to pick his very own pumpkin didn’t quite come to fruition, but he did enjoy himself. We also got some particularly cute pictures of Cash Man playing with the onions and the apples!





Harvest House is a must stop on the list and was perfect for lunch and of course, the best part, dessert! Pumpkin ice cream is a must have on my fall list.

They had some really big (non prickly) pumpkins that Cash was able to play around in, so everything worked out perfectly!



I wanted to pick some apples too, but Cash was ready for a nap. Hopefully next year we make it to the apples; I know this will be a really fun yearly tradition!




HAPPY FALL Y’ALL
