A visit to the pumpkin patch

One of our favorite family traditions is picking out our pumpkins at a pumpkin patch each Halloween season. I love seeing all the orange.
And the fine art of pumpkin picking is always an exciting adventure to behold!



We got to put our pumpkins in these little wagons and tote them all around. The kids thought that it was great.


Ahh, the Mums.



Micah picked a perfectly round pumpkin (in the wagon).
Asher picked a kinda tall and lopsided one.
Liv picked a pumpkin with little bubbly "warts" all over it.
Dudi also picked out a tall one, and we got three little baby ones.


It was the perfect night. Not too hot, not too cold...it was just right.


Tonight's agenda includes a family viewing of "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" and making Halloween cookies!

The pictures capture the beauty of fall perfectly.

I am loving Olivia's tights and hat.

Isn't it funny how we all like different kinds of pumpkins...round, bumpy, etc...

I prefer mine in pie form.

I removed my previous comment because I spelled a word wrong in it...and I hate that. :) Anyway, here is the same wording...just fixed the mis-spell.
"The colors are so vibrant and rich in your pictures, Mary. Again, let me say how much I love them. I can practically smell fall in the air, viewing them.
I absolutely adore Livy's hat! Reminds me of the one you wore in Italy, Mary. Livy looks so darling in those striped leggings, too!
