Al's Garden Center sells pumpkins for $1.99 per pumpkin (any size). It has been a tradition for several years now to pick pumpkins from Al's because they are so cheap! We met our family at Al's Garden Center and enjoyed the beautiful shop and grounds area and then picked our pumpkins.
Esther rode around in the stroller for this event.
Campbell (like his Mommy) was very excited to see all the Christmas decorations!
Pop's brought his camera to document our pumpkin picking experience, but in true Pop's fashion he got a little distracted by other things that weren't our family or pumpkins so we ended up with a few silly photos.
I guess this is our family...Pop's finger is being eaten by a hungry dinosaur!
I'm sure Pop's told Campbell to feed his toy Shrek to the dinosaur because
he thought it would make a good photo.
Isaiah is in love with fountains. Al's Garden Center still has lots
of fountain options for Isaiah to enjoy!

Greyson rode in his stroller for awhile today too.

Adorable Esther baby!
Pop's loves a good chile picture.
Finally to the picking pumpkins process...Isaiah was our wagon puller and he did a fantastic job!
From the pictures it looks like we bought a grand total of one pumpkin from Al's Garden Center, but that is not accurate. I believe our family bought 4 and the Willis family bought several too.
However, since Al's Garden Center isn't the real deal we went up and across the road to Baggenstos Pumpkin Patch (mostly for picture sake and more family fun). Honestly, Baggenstos isn't the real deal either because you ride a hay ride to a grassy field where they have laid a bunch of pre-cut and washed pumpkins. Oh well, It's October! (says Isaiah every time we go on a tractor and trailer hay ride=he's happy). Even if this farm isn't the real deal either we still had a lot of fun doing all the different things it had to offer.
This farm has a cool old truck you can take pictures by...
This farm has a playground (with a teeter-totter this year)...
This farm has a pumpkin to stick our faces through...
This farm has a potato dig...
This farm has a tunnel...
This farm has a hay maze...
We all made it safely out of the hay maze!
Finally on the hay ride!
Campbell was pretty worried most of the hay ride because there were a lot of bees.

Hey look it is me and all the kids...nice group shot Pops!

Here is another all the kids group shot...nice work Pops!
We picked out one pumpkin here...and paid the same amount for this one as we did for
our four pumpkins from Al's Garden Center.
Back at home with our pumpkins and sweet baby girl!
