On Tuesday we took our annual trip to the Laity Pumpkin Patch in Maple Ridge. This is the third year in a row that we’ve gone, and unfortunately Jon wasn’t able to make it this time. But I loaded up the kids and headed out myself, crossing my fingers for smooth sailing. We visited at around 2:15pm, and that was a great time to go because the school groups were gone, but the after-school rush hadn’t started yet. We had a great time, and we found some wonderful pumpkins.
And, of course, I took many photos.

Do you do the annual pumpkin patch trip, too? Or do you have another go-to pumpkin source?
i love all the wee pupmkins! they’re kid size! pupmkin patches are great for kids of all ages (up to about 83 i think) and i look forward to it every year. although THIS year i may try a new one in abbotsford (http://www.applebarn.ca/)
I am definitely looking forward to when my friends kids are old enough to enjoy this!
Looks like fun! This year, we went to the UBC Farm’s Harvest Festival and picked up our pumpkins there. They had both Cinderella pumpkins for pies and carving pumpkins.

OMG Amber, you really are superwoman! Lifting one pumpkin with one hand (not to mention the child on the back and the other pumpkin)?! Amazing biceps: there isn’t a vegetable I don’t think that has higher specific weight than pumpkin!

Awesome pics! Your kids look like they had so much fun. The pumpkin family is a little bit creepy in my opinion!
