We started a new tradition this year with a Halloween party at the farm the weekend before Halloween. We ate chili, carved pumpkins, went on a hay ride, and had a bonfire. This also gave the kids who wanted to an extra opportunity to wear their costumes and for this momarazzi to take lots of pictures. I am also trying to build happy memories for my kids that are connected to our family farm. Come along we will give you a pumpkin to carve.
Early in the day we stopped at a local farm that sold pumpkins. We had some from our garden but we wanted to make sure we had enough for everyone to carve. Caelun had fun picking them out.
And carve we did.
