The Great Pumpkin!

Oh how I love the fall the cool crisp air, the excuse to be able to drink hot chocolate on chilly days, and the changing of the leaves. Usually we are lucky enough to have neighbors or relatives that have pumpkins for us to be able to carve up and proudly display on the front porch. Well this year we decided to hit the local pumpkin patch and go pumpkin picking. It was so much fun and so cheap. I was surprised how much cheaper these were then store bought pumpkins and the pumpkins we picked were good sized. The place where we went sends you out with a big pair of gardening scissors and you wander until you find the one that is just right. You then roll it over to the side of the patch and they will come pick you and your pumpkin up for a tractor ride. The girls had a blast!! I think this will be a new fall tradition for our family!
