It's October, and that means it's time to head out to the pumpkin patch.  Which is just what we did this past weekend.  Originally we had plans of the entire family going out on Saturday, but life has a way of changing plans at the last minute, and besides it was rainy and gray.  (Actually internet, my family turned into slugs and refused to move from the couch)IMG_3260

So we changed our plans and decided to go Sunday, and what a beautiful fall day it turned out to be.  Crazy enough, everyone else had the same idea.IMG_3289

My little granddaughter is in town, and she had the most fun dragging her auntie through the hay mazes, and in general wearing her out dragging her all over the farm.  She apparently, is THE coolest Auntie EVER, and I mean like EVER in that little 2 year olds world right about now.IMG_3252

Now we have a age old family rule of whatever pumpkin that you find you can keep, IF you can carry it, and my kids have of course found the loophole in this accord by deciding that includes rolling the pumpkin.  So my 10 year old managed to choose a pumpkin that was about a 1/3 of her weight.  While the little peanut decided the best way to choose a pumpkin was to sit on it, and the best would be chosen by the perfect seating option.IMG_3315

In the end, 3 perfect pumpkins were found, plus one tiny little baby pumpkin, that followed the rule.IMG_3297

Happy October, and Happy Pumpkin Hunting!!
