Pumpkin Patch 2010

The Klimek Family and 3/4 of the Dorwin Family made our annual trek to Mommsen's Pumpkin Patch in Rice Lake on Saturday, October 16th. Unfortunately, Chad had to work and couldn't join us for our yearly adventure. We missed him, and I am sure he missed the fresh caramel apples, although Nic and the boys took one home for him!

We had a beautiful fall day to enjoy our time together at the Pumpkin Patch. The temperature was around 65 degrees--a big change from some of the years we have been there in winter coats, hats, and gloves!

Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch is a day for cousins to have fun together...

(the pumpkin with the big mouth isn't related to us...)

The Klimie Kids were great to humor their mom with a few photo ops throughout the afternoon!

Nicole snapped a pic of our whole family together!
(maybe that big-mouthed pumpkin head is a relative--he seems to show up in quite a few pictures...)

The Three Klimies...

Carter and Bradley...

Three cousins had fun in the corn maze!

Carter had the most fun picking the cobs of corn...

he had all of his pants pockets stuffed with ears of corn until his pants were almost falling off, and then he stuffed the front pocket of my hoodie full of corn cobs when he couldn't carry any more!

Carter loves to look for gourds--

he found a good one here!

Until next year, Pumpkin Patch!

Happy Fall, Everyone!
