Black Island Farms

Once again we went to Black Island Farms in Syracuse to get our pumpkins. This year we went with our neighbor Heather, her kids Matt & Avery and we also brought Bekka's & Avery's friend Lexi. They took us out to the pumpkin patch and we were able to each choose our own pumpkin! After everyone's pumpkins were chosen, I was able to choose a pumpkin for Abbi and Travis. We take Abbi a Jack-o-Lantern on Halloween morning and my sister Stacey goes up and lights it for us! We were able to use a $2.00 coupon for each of us so for Bekka, Catie and I to go on the hay ride it cost $9.00! Not bad!!!!

I had heard that if the farm doesn't do to well this year and next they may have to sell the farm :( That makes me sad since we just started this tradition last year! You wouldn't believe the size of these pumpkins! They were all really good size! Bigger than the ones I have seen in the bins at the Wal-Mart!

If any of you haven't gotten your pumpkins yet, it is worth the trip to go out to Black Island Farms....thier website is www.blackislandfarms.com , the address is 3180 South 3000 West in Syracuse!
