Pumpkin Patch

The girls and I went to the pumpkin patch this morning with a group of friends. It was the same one we went to last year and we really liked it. The kids got to feed coy fish, plant strawberries, go through a spooky maze, pet farm animals, and pick their very own pumpkin.

It was cute to see which pumpkin each of the girls picked. Eve picked the very first one she saw and then insisted on carrying it around with her. She got upset when I even suggested putting it down so she could more easily play with the other children! Grace wanted "the littlest pumpkin" like the one in a Halloween book we have about a small pumpkin in a pumpkin patch that gets overlooked. I think she wanted to make sure it didn't get picked last! Its funny how you can tell a lot about their personalities on something as simple as which pumpkin they picked!
