Jack&pumpkins

We don't have many traditions in our young family, but our Columbus Day trip to the pumpkin patch is something I really look forward to all year. It's actually an apple orchard (Honey Hill Orchard) in Waterman, IL. We go on Columbus Day because Doug has the day off and we can take advantage of the lighter Monday crowd. We harvest the pumpkins ourselves, then stop by the barn to pick up apples, cider, doughnuts and honey. The crop this year was totally awesome! Usually the pumpkins are fairly picked over by Monday, but it appears as though they doubled the size of their patch this year. We came home with about 80 lbs worth of pumpkins!
