It's a sad day when all of your kids dont jump at the chance to pick the perfect family pumpkin. Guess Madison will be our last pumpkin hunter. I shall never grow too old to search for that perfect round fall delight! Thank you Madison for keeping us forever young!
I must add that I had as much fun as she did. Even if we did miss the pony rides... cause Momma got the time wrong, ugh!
Forever young... even if we are the only ones in this house to believe it.
Madison searched...
and searched....
She did find her perfect pumpkin. Daddy helped bring it to the car.... great day indeed~
I love going to the pumpkin patch and getting that perfect pumpkin, too. This year I must have been distracted because my one lonely pumpkin is very oddly shaped.
ReplyDeleteI did a variation of your spooky tree and posted on my blog today. It still needs a bird - where did you find yours? Thanks for the inspiration!
We are going to the pumpkin patch this upcoming weekend. My son (who will be 18 this weekend) is not overwhelmed with this idea, but he's going! LOL. Gosh dang it, we're doing this as a family and we're all going to be HAPPY about it. LOL. (Do you think I have a problem letting go?) LOL.
ReplyDeleteIt is a thrill when you find the perfect one, isn't it?
We went to the Pumpkin Patch too while my parents were here. I'm telling you I enjoy it as much as Lexi does. Madison is GORGEOUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteSusie, I did a post on this subject. My kids are 19 and 16. They won't do the whole pumpkin patch thing with me anymore. They will go around town picking out the perfect ones! It stays fun as they age just in different ways. :) Believe me though, I miss the pumpkin patch days.
ReplyDeleteI love hunting for that PERFECT pumpkin!!!.....I feel your pain, our girls are now almost 21 and 12 - not much interest in finding that pumpkin any more.--so sad
ReplyDeleteMadison found a BEAUTIFUL pumpkin!
Happy Fall

Those are such fun times and I remember them well. I sure miss my little ones, this past Sunday I saw a friend and her question was "How are You doing?" and my response was I'm missing my kids today. Cherish every moment. Jackie
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and fun! She is a doll! How old is Madison?
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! I love pumpkin patches! Madison looks a lot like her mommy, only blonde!
ReplyDeleteNow you have two perfect pumpkins. . . Madison and your pumpkin!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sher
Soon, very soon, they will all want to come back and pick the perfect pumpkin again! I think that is kind of how it works. We grow up a little and then cherish all the memories we made as a family.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures I can see what fun you all had...can't wait to visit our Pumpkin Patch..hope it will be as much fun as the ones I have seen on the blogside:)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a whole bunch of fun! We haven't even gone yet in MI. Looks like we had as warm a weekend as you in the south!
ReplyDeleteI know you were talking about your daughter when you said the prefect pumpkin -- she is beautiful. We carved our pumpkin (I carved) Once i opened it the kids said no way.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love

I just love pumpkin farm visits. We haven't managed to get there yet this year - hopefully we will.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
Oh - perfect pumpkins are a tradition! Good for you for keeping it going.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you guys had the perfect fall day~!
ReplyDeleteMadison looks like she had a really great time~♥
What a beautiful little girl you have!
ReplyDeleteMy two older kids think I am horrible for dragging them to the pumpkin patch but my youngest still loves it. I bribe them with the fresh roasted peanuts and extra large cokes in a bottle that they serve at our farmers market/patch. Works everytime. I know that someday when they have kids of their own they will appreciate our times at the patch but....I still miss the years that I pushed them in their strollers and sat my chubby babies on a bale of hay for a photo! Time does fly and very fast I might add. Madison picked a great one! Smiles and Hugs, Paula
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun day. Your little daughter is just precious!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the perfect day, to me.
ReplyDeleteI just caught up with your show post. Loved it. Another great time and the extra fun, meeting fellow bloggers!
I miss those days! The good news is that after all the pumpkin hunters leave home, if you are patient, new little hunters come along! I can't wait to go to the patch with my grandchildren. Happy Fall! I loved this post. sigh. winking away a few tears.

ReplyDeleteMadison is such a pretty little girl! :) Looks like you 3 had fun, despite being a "small" group! ~Rhonda
ReplyDeleteI still havent done this! So busy, I've got to slow down and go to a pumpkin patch. It's too fun to miss!
ReplyDeleteI am like you I will never be too old to pick the perfect pumpkin. Looks like the patch was the place to visit this weekend. We went as well. I love going and it's such a great tradition.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite childhood memories are of going to the pumpkin patch with my mom every year. Madison will remmber these times forever.
ReplyDeleteAnd if she's anything like me, she'll be searching for her perfect pumpkin when she's in her twenties too!
We love pumpkin hunting! check out my giveaway if you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteI always have as much fun as my Kiddo when we search for the perfect pumpkin, too! That place looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteperfect pumpkins are hard to find...and i love a girl who knows what she wants!
ReplyDeleteoh, and i linked you today...smiles!
What a sweet post. We'll be going to the pumpkin patch this weekend. I think I'm as excited as the kids!
ReplyDeleteI had to do this all by myself this year since the kids are all gone. I did it in memory of all the times we did it together. :)
ReplyDeletePumpkin Patches are so much fun. I love this time of year. BTW- Madison is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi Susie! Aw, Madison is so precious and she looks so sweet sitting in the pumpkins! I miss my children at times like these. When they were little and all the fun things we used to do! Cherish all these sweet times, our kiddos grow up so fast!!
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That looks like so much fun. A couple of years ago we talked Legare (then 20) into going with us to the Corn Maze. He lasted about 30 minutes which was actually longer than I expected!!
ReplyDeleteCUTE!!! She is darling! I love Fall and pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day. You all look so cute. :-)
ReplyDeleteawwwwww .. beautiful photos, beautiful family. I wish my boys enjoyed the pumpkin patch.
ReplyDeleteEach year I FORCE them into going and FORCE them into taking pictures.
One day .. one day ...
I love the pumpkin patch!! We have one where you can actually pick it off the vine-so fun!!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is beautiful!!
Elise
What a fun day!

:o) How sweet! I love the pumpkin patch. I think could still talk my daughter into it...my son? Not so much. Your have such a gorgeous family!
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is so pretty. What a sweet time together! I miss going to the pumpkin patch. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pumpkin patch!The thought of the family pumpkin search ending makes me sad.First pumpkins then trees! We must keep it alive!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I have an award waiting for you on my blog!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous that you have a local pumpkin patch. We don't have one that is as cool as that. I am jealous!
ReplyDeleteYOur little girl is beautiful. Her hair-if my 8's hair was that long-I can only imagine the tears from brushing.(i am so mean)
Traditions are the best part of any holiday. I am almost 30 and I still get pj's from my parents on christmas eve. YOur never too old for memories!
You are lucky you even have a pumpkin patch to go to. Our closed a couple years ago so now we have to get our pumpkins from Wal-Mart. Just not the same as going to a pumpkin patch. :(
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun looking for that special perfect pumpkin? I think your little pumpkin did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI bet some heart memories were made this day :)
ReplyDeleteShe is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys found the perfect pumpkin! Your little Madison is a cutie! ~ Les
