We went to our local pumpkin patch the weekend before Thanksgiving. It was cool and rainy, and there weren't many pumpkins left since we were getting there so late, but we still had a great time. I love living only 10 minutes from an orchard/farm!

| Abby contemplating whether this is the best pumpkin. |
 |
| Not many left in the field |
 |
| My hands are dirty! |
 |
| Mine too! |
 |
| This one is just the right size for Zoey |
 |
| "It's too heavy!" |
After picking out our pumpkins, the kids watched the cows in the neighboring field. They practiced moo-ing and said "bye cows!" when we left.
 |
| Last year we managed to get all 3 and the pumpkin in one wagon. Not this year! |
The best part was when we ate apple cider doughnuts in the shop afterwards.
Later on in the weekend, we let the kids paint their little pumpkins. I really had to manage my dislike of mess during this process. The kids had a great time!
The weekend AFTER Halloween, we finally got around to carving the big pumpkin. The kids named him Jack.
Happy Fall, everyone!
