Pumpkins for the Sparkles

On Saturday, we made our annual family trip the Beasely's Orchard to visit the pumpkin patch.

Lillian just had to have some caramel corn and enjoyed sticking her pudgy hands into the bag for another handful.
Pops was visiting from Florida and made the cold and windy trip with us through the fields.

We rode the hayride out the the pumpkin field- Madi and I loved hanging our legs over the side

while Pops, Daddy and Lillian preferred resting in the back of the wagon.

As the picture captures, Lillian was less then enthused for the trip- it was very cold!

She did however cheer up as when we found a pumpkin almost as big as her, and when Daddy gave her the bread from her sandwich to eat.

It was very difficult to find the perfect pumpkin.
Could this be the pumpkin for us?

Or these two?

Hey, I like this one!

I think we found the two winners!!!!!


We also went through the corn maze. We chose the American History Passport questions to guide us through the maze. It was very muddy but fun to answer the questions.

Which way do we go Madi?

Heading for the finish.



Leading the way


While it was a very cold day and there were a few meltdowns- but it was another great day for the Sparkman family.
