Annual trip to Burt's Pumpkin Farm

Woohoo - our annual trip to Burts! It is amazing how many pumpkins are there - even more amazing is the number of people that come out each year. This year was no exception. We left our house early (early for us) and arrived at Burt's just before 10 am. There was already a 25 minute wait for tickets to ride the hay ride. So after a couple of family photos, in line we got. I wanted to take pictures of the boys by themselves - but they just wanted to ride the hay ride. We didn't even get to take pictures on the tractor this year...it was just crazy. And, I was trying to go 100% manual on the camera again and was forgetting to change the white balance from sun to shade - huge mistake. Tons of shots were over exposed darnit. At any rate, we all had a great time and afterwards had a picnic lunch at the park near Amocalola Falls. This year instead of trying to hike up it, we drove to the top to see the view down. Much better! The kids loved the hay ride. That was for sure their favorite. We headed home just after lunchtime and the kids slept the whole way. I just love this time of year!
