Pumpkin Patch Trips 1 & 2

I wrote about trip #3, but forgot to mention trips 1 & 2!! So, here goes...

Trip #1 was really just Harris and I going with our playgroup. Jackson was at school, but that day happened to be his class trip to the pumpkin patch, the same one our playgroup had gone to! So, I got to spy on him while he was with his friends... he was too cute. I didn't see much, but he was enjoying hanging out with his teacher, Miss Way Way. Harris and I went on a hayride (without the hay!!) through a haunted forest with our friends, Dorothy and Mary Kathryn, Aileen and Spencer, Caroline and Fordham, and Nancy and DuBose. We also picked out a pumpkin just for Harris (which later took the plunge over my front porch!). I think Harris really enjoyed watching the older kids play... it will be him running through the pumpkin patch next year!

Trip #2 was as a family. There is a church in town that has a huge pumpkin sale, so we decided to take the boys one evening. Harris was a bit under the weather, but Jackson loved running through the pumpkins, counting them as he went. After posing for a few pictures, we left with a big carving pumpkin and a tiny one to go with it. Unfortunately, the large pumpkin also took a leap from our front porch. I guess the little one wouldn't have really "splat", so the pumpkin-smashers left that one alone.

Anyway, I have had my fill of pumpkins for awhile... I will just now look forward to having them in my pie!
