GCF is my favorite place for pumpkin picking. They have a great festival with tons of activities (slides, bounce pillow, animals to touch or see, toddler area, etc.) and a ride to pick your own pumplin--RIGHT OFF THE VINE! Most pumpkin patches are pumpkins already picked off the vine, but not GCF. John and I are thinking of joining their CSA next year--we get all of their festivals for free plus weekly U Pick opportunities (think, pints and pints of strawberries!) as well as of course, the actual CSA veggies and fruits delivered to our house weekly--organic and sustainable--a great way to support our local farmers!
Here is AJ on the bounce pillow. He didn't like this at all. He LOVES trampolines, but not this thing.
AJ pushing Roman on one of the kid tractors:
Everyone loaded into the 'hayride' (better because there is no hay!) to go pick pumpkins. Don't look so excited everyone!
AJ and Roman sitting like big boys waiting to get to the pumpkin patch!
My brother, David, and AJ:
Roman and Nicole:
The three of us. Look at that view (and we weren't even in the best spot!). My next place to go wine tasting is right across the street--a winery on top of the hill. I can't wait to see their view!
AJ and Roman sitting on pumpkins:
And attempting to pick one!
Pop Pop showing off his $17 pumpkin!
John showing off our pumpkin (smaller then above though!)
Afterwards we all went to my house for some dinner and cake. I made a yummy fall-off-the-bone beer butt chicken with all of the fixings. I then made my favorite organic carrot cake and homemade icing. I used Sucanat for the sugar in the icing and I will never do that again. Some things are just so much better not clean (although everyone else loved it, I personally prefer the white refined sugar!). Here is Pop-Pop about to blow out his candles. Doesn't he look great for 55? The boys are singing to him:
