Tradition is what memories are made of. Our family has made a tradition of going every fall to the Pumpkin Patch in Rice Lake to enjoy the sights of autumn. Picking out our pumpkins, ambling through the corn mazes, browsing in the petting zoo (in our younger years), and, the best part of all, eating the delicious treats the Pumpkin Patch has to offer!
~~~
Here are the Klimie Kids this year at the Pumpkin Patch...
~~~Part of our tradition for many years has included Carter, and later, Bradley, joining us for a fun day with the cousins. Due to the Dorwin Family Move earlier this fall, we didn't think the Pumpkin Patch Tradition would be one we would be continuing with our Dorwin Cousins. Were we ever surprised and pleased when the Cousins told us they were planning on making the 5+ hour trip north for our annual Pumpkin Patch Trip! Here are our two little buddies that traveled a long way to join us...

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention the third boy of the Dorwin Family that also tagged along on our adventure. Toby hopped in Abby's "puppy purse" and was carried around the whole pumpkin patch for all of the fun. Jack and Sophie, however, would not have been quite as easy to "smuggle" onto the grounds, and they stayed home for the day!
~~~
We saw many beautiful pumpkins and had a great day for our outdoor activities!
~~~
Of course, the Klimie Kids didn't get by without posing for a few pictures for mom's camera....

All five cousins together--

The cutest Pumpkin in the Patch!

I picked out these three "pumpkins" to take home with me--I hope they aren't rotten...

And, of course, the traditional Mommsen's Produce Patch Truck photo!

Another fun day at the pumpkin patch!
Happy Fall from the Klimek Family!
