Pumpkin Patch at the Wegmeyer Farms, VA

Today, we went to the Wegmeyer Farms in Hamilton, VA for pumpkin picking and hay riding. This is our second year in a row going there, so it may as well be our new annual family tradition.

The place is lovely and not crowded, the staff is friendly, the views are great, and it just feels like you are on a real farm, in the middle of nowhere, which, technically, you are. I love picking your own pumpkins and having to cut the stems to get your "own" best pumpkin. Last year, we went a little earlier than this year, so there were a lot of pumpkins to pick from. This year, we were a bit late, so most of the pumpkins were already cut and were just sitting there all over the farm field, waiting to be picked. Last year, it was just the three of us - Ed, Will and I (pregnant with Victoria). This year, Victoria was with us, and was very much into the whole experience, trying to touch the pumpkins and hay.

Below are some pictures from 2010 and 2011.. I like to compare them because Will has grown and changed so much. I guess I don't realize it until I look at those pictures side by side. Last year, he was my little boy. This year, he is my little man and a big brother to Victoria. Still, one thing hasn't changed -- he is still the cutest, warmest, handsomest little man in the whole world :-) Enjoy!
