It's the Great Pumpkin...

Pumpkin Patch Visit - 2007

Today was our annual pumpkin patch trip to select the “perfect” pumpkin and get into the spirit of Halloween. We visited a different patch this year, and had a great time. There were lots of pumpkins, some tractors to climb on, a corn maze to walk thru, a hay pit to jump in, a tractor ride and, for the kids, a fun spin on the tractor train. We always have such fun picking out our pumpkin and just enjoying the day together as a family.

The girls really enjoyed the kids train and didn’t at all mind the mud splashes, as you can see.

We saw some friends at the patch and had a good time visiting and watching the girls run around together. Alas, it was time to wrap the trip up and make a stop at Starbuck’s before heading home. The only thing that could have made the day better was sunshine instead of sprinkles, but the memories we made were warm none the less.
