Today we headed to a nearby pumpkin patch. It was a cool, breezy day and we weren't sure about going, but the kids convinced us that we should go - so off we went!
Nathan was the first one to choose a pumpkin. He happily posed for a quick picture, then placed it gently into the wagon. (Well, he was gentle the second time around. The first time he basically dumped it in the wagon. Good thing he chose a tough pumpkin!)
Elizabeth found her pumpkin next. She knew exactly what shape she was looking for. She is all excited to bring it to school next Tuesday. We're supposed to bring edible items and decorate it together. Hmmm... we'll have to get creative!
Now Allie Grace was the most discriminating in her search for a pumpkin! It took FOREVER! I am not entirely sure what her criteria was, but it took much negotiating before she finally chose one. We had to list each pumpkin's individual merits and, just so you know, it's easy to run out of adjectives when describing pumpkins so we had to get creative at times! But, all's well that ends well - she is thrilled with her pumpkin. :)
Our visit to the pumpkin patch was complete after the kids rode the "pumpkin train" through the patch. As you can tell, everyone had a great time!
