Its pumpkin time...... all the grocery stores are loaded with pumpkins in every shape and size and innumerable varieties. Its something about these orange fruits ( yes.... pumpkin is a fruit !!!! ) that is so attractive to kids as well as adults. Pumpkin picking has been a cherry autumn tradition in US for years and we've become quite taken with this idea too :) Last year we went to Remlinger farm for pumpkin patch and this year it was Serres Farm which is very close to our place. We wanted to keep the tradition of pumpkin patch going especially since Anvesha loved it so much. This year went there twice !!! It was so much fun not just for the kids, but also for us. Many families flock to the pumpkin fields strewn with these orange beauties in order to pick up their prized Halloween decoration.
Pumpkin picking is especially popular among children..... and a great way of getting them outdoors in October. Anvesha and her friends were running around the fields inhaling the fresh air and examining each pumpkin closely.
And then there were other activities such as duck race using an old fashioned water pump. Everyone got to keep their ducks at the end of the race.
Corn maze was the crowd's favorite and we had so much fun finding our way out from the maze. There were skeletons put to guide us through.
It was a fun filled Sunday afternoon. The kids were tired at the end of it and Anvesha crashed to bed on getting home. Now isn't that a big indication on how much she enjoyed her day with her friends ??? After all the fun we had, now comes the exasperating task of carving out the pumpkins for trick or treaters.... but thats all in the spirit of Halloween and the end results are worth it !!!!

Another major hit was the animal train. We loved it too :) I sat with Anvesha on the train... lol and we loved it !!!!
