60 Instagram Captions For All Your Pumpkin Picking Adventures

As excited as I am for the season of PSLs and scarves, there’s one activity on my fall bucket list that outranks them all: a visit to the pumpkin patch. I could wander the rows of gorgeous orange gourds for hours, snapping away with my phone to catch all the perfect photo opportunities of my kids enjoying their day too. Pick a pumpkin, snap some fun fall pics, and post them to Instagram with one of these Instagram captions for pumpkin picking. Sounds easy enough, right?

If your kids are anything like mine, the annual sojourn to the pumpkin patch is less about memory-making and more about survival. But, if you can ignore your child’s muddy boots, their insistence that a 50-pound pumpkin is an absolute necessity, and their inability to take even one photo without their eyes closed, the experience can be quite magical. At least it can be in your mind, if not also on social media thanks to some re-framing and a creative caption.

Below you’ll find Instagram captions for every type of pumpkin picking situation, from the picture-perfect fall moments to the times when you just wish you could stop sweating through your sweater.
