"Pickeen Punkins"

Jeff and I always look forward to our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch. When we bought our house five years ago we received a flyer in the mail shortly after moving from the realty company we used. It said we could pick out two free pumpkins at a farm a little north of us. We were so excited, we drove up almost immediately to check out the patch. We were happily surprised our second year in our house to receive the flyer again. And again the next year! Five years later, we still have a small celebration in our house when we receive that flyer in the mail at the end of September. Oh the little joys in life!

This year was especially fun because Nathaniel was so excited about "pickeen punkins" as he calls it. We let him pick out two little ones for him and Mary to paint later. Jeff and I picked out our two big free ones for carving. Here are some pictures from our fun day!
