After 18 consecutive days of rain we finally had a nice day to go to the pumpkin patch. A lot of the pumpkins were rotten because of all the rain we have had, so finding the perfect pumpkin proved a little more difficult this year. After walking up and down the patch and analyzing just about every pumpkin, everyone finally found the pumpkin for them.
Dustin was fascinated by all the pumpkins, animals and lady bugs. He tried to touch all the animals. He would have climbed right into their pens if we'd let him. Katelyn and Lauren like to look at the animals from a distance. Lauren actually touched a goat for a split second and she was so proud of herself that she has asked us numerous times if we remember "the time she touched the goat".
Going to the pumpkin patch is one of my favorite family traditions. We have been every year except one since we've lived here. There is just something about getting your pumpkin at the patch and not at the grocery store. I love watching the kids agonize over which pumpkin to pick. I love watching them feed the animals or run away from the animals depending on which kid it is. I love the hayride and sampling the apples. I love it all!!
