We started off our day with the late service at church. After church, we headed over to Celina for a little Mexican food on the square. We filled our bellies and then headed over to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Gunter. Years ago- 5 to be exact, we ate at this same little restaurant and visited the same little pumpkin patch. My, how the boys have grown!
The kids fed all the cows and goats, successfully made it through the hay maze, skipped the hayride and then set out to find the perfect pumpkin to take home.
Once we got home, the kiddos didn't waste a minute and were all scooping, cutting and carving as soon as their church clothes had been shed. The kids did most all of it carving by themselves. The dads watched football, us moms sat on the patio watching, sipping hot tea, helping when needed, hollering at the dads to help when we tired of helping- it was a goopy, slimy, perfectly pumpkin-y afternoon!
We took lots of pictures of the finished pumpkins before the kids ran off for backyard football and a bit of kayaking. The weather was absolutely perfect, warm enough for shorts but cool enough for a sweatshirt- we couldn't have asked for better weather. We ended our day with takeout for dinner and when the time came, we all groaned at having to end our perfect day for school night bedtime routines.
