A family tradition we started few years ago...daughter, her husband and three babies get in their car, we get in our car, some years her husband's parents get in their car, his brother and his family gets in their car and we head over to Surry County to College Run Farm to pick pumpkins. This year son-in-law's parents and his brother and his family didn't go because of other commitments but the rest of us went and our oldest grandson rode with us. We picked pumpkins, afterward we had delicious homemade vanilla and pumpkin ice-cream they have for sale there. And shopped in their gift shop.
We go across the JRB---James River Bridge which is 4-1/2 miles long to go Isle of Wight County. Ride past fields of cotton, soy beans, peanuts, corn, etc. to Surry County where more fields of the same growing.
And we start seeing fields of pumpkins and know we are nearing College Run Farm.

Here are some of the family checking out which ones they want and picking their favorites.

Later today and tomorrow I need to get my stuff down and out for Halloween...my wheelbarrows, porch and area around scarecrows need a lot of sprucing up.
