It was a beautiful day today and we went to Clark's Farm to pick out our pumpkins this afternoon. Clark's Farm is right down the road from us and this was the second year in a row we bought our pumpkins from them (gotta support the local small businesses!). It's really not a farm...it's more like a family's front lawn...obviously there is no HOA on Courthouse Road in Stafford! About 3 years ago the family that owns the property turned their front and back yard into a "fall festival" with tons of pumpkins, gourds and cider. They also have a petting farm, a few big jumping castles and children's crafts. Not that our kids are into that stuff any more. It was just fun to watch all the little ones enjoy their day!
The place was packed! Not a parking spot to be found! Chris and I made our rounds through the "pumpkin patch" and found two big jack-o-lanterns just waiting to be creatively carved into something special!
