It is that time of year -- Fall is upon us. All my friends with little kids have been hitting up the pumpkin patches. Although I have no child, we are like a little kids at heart so we decided to join the fun. We went out to Simmons Farm where they actually grow the pumpkins.. as well as apples and squash and flowers and an assortment of other vegetables. We took the hayride out to the field and picked a few pumpkins and some Indian corn, followed by a trip into the corn maze. The pumpkin picking was serious business -- definitely had to find 'the one'. On our way home we stopped by Giant Eagle and found an even more impressive pumpkin. Eventually we'll carve them! No promises on showing you the finished product.
Acres upon acres of pumpkins!
Yup, they actually grow them here!

Seriously, Acres of pumpkins
Nope, thats definitely not "the one".
But maybe this one is!
Or this one?
Here are a couple more options...
I'll take this one -- she's a keeper :)
Picking Indian Corn
They had some amazing jack o'lanterns up at the farmstand. mine will look nowhere near this fancy, for sure.
