one favorite fall tradition



This weekend,
we were able to do
one of our favorite Fall traditions,
 we have as a family.....
visiting the
Chramosta Pumpkin Patch,
owned and operated by
Ron and Shannon Chramosta
(Scott's cousins),
just south of Gibbon, NE.



Joshua and Austin LOVE
the pumpkin slinger!



Using small pumpkins and gourds,
they try to hit a small bale of hay,
a scarecrow, or a pumpkin sign.
(If they hit one of those targets,
they could win a pumpkin
or a can of pop or bag of popcorn!)








They got really close and even had a gourd "hop over"
the bale of hay several times!
Then they went out and helped pick up
 the slung gourds and pumpkins.


Scott's cousin and her husband
have a herd of "fainting" goats!
They are so friendly.
They even LOVE to be hand-fed,
but will still faint if frightened!



The trikes were a hit!





An adventure into the corn maze...


with my three favorite guys!


For some reason, they didn't want to take
the shortcut (to the right)...


a quick shot of us while Joshua and Austin are checking
out the two different routes to go

Joshua and Austin both want to go a
different way!

missing his two front teeth.

Now which way?!

We made it!

The slide is really slick after being waxed!

Waxing the slide some more!

Looking for the perfect pumpkin...

Looking and looking...

I found it!

Thanks,

in making your pumpkin patch
so much fun!
We love coming to see you each year :)
