The Great Pumpkin Patch

Annually we go to The Great Pumpkin Patch in Stockton, MN.  It's in the river valley near Winona.  We happened upon it years ago before we even had kids.  We've gone annually ever since.  This year it was really warm outside and super sunny.  The warm part was nice, but the sunny part makes for bad pictures! (Or, just not as great of pictures.)

Tweite's Pumpkin Patch---October 2011

We invited Grandma and Grandpa Rickert to join us this year to pick pumpkins. We were all excited for our trip to Tweite's. The weather was perfect! We got there only to realize prices had gone up to $9 per person. Yikes! That was a lot of money for 5 paying people. (Luke was free.) We decided to partake in the free stuff such as pumpkin picking and a few photo ops rather than pay full price for the animals and mazes. We had a good time picking pumpkins and we only spent about $15 on pumpkins and gourds!

Fall 2008

We've enjoyed some fall activities over the last couple weekends. Jack and I went to Apple Jack's Orchard with Kristy, Cooper and Ty a couple weeks ago, and last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch with the Wernau's. I got some cute pictures, and these will be some fun traditions we continue from year to year as Jack grows up. Looking back at the pictures from last year's trip to the pumpkin patch, it's amazing to see how much Jack's grown.
