pumpkin patch

a trip to the pumpkin patch every fall is a lovely tradition

kids go with their schoolmates and learn about the circle of life in the garden

a pumpkin seed becomes a pumpkin plant, and a pumpkin plant becomes a pumpkin

the pumpkin has seeds, and so on and so on

we watched a video in the old schoolhouse, called the pumpkin circle narrated by Danny Glover, before heading out to the fields

and seeing this film, I found myself wanting to grow my own pumpkins next year with the kids

We really enjoyed going through the corn maze

then we proceeded towards the pumpkins to select our own special treasure to take home

Overall a wonderful fall day spent with my son

in the high plains of Colorado
