Pumpkin Picking With Friends

Last week we got together with a few friends of ours and went to a pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful day. We had already bought a few "mini-pumpkins" at the local garden center when we went to get our mums, but we really needed a pumpkin to carve. The kids had fun. (Until Anne Marie fell in the pumpkin patch and hit her head on a pumpkin...ouch.) But otherwise it was a nice day.

Perfect spot for a "photo shoot"

This one? No, a little too small for me. (She didn't want any pumpkins she couldn't pick up! As she said, "too heby mama, I don't want these")

Finally -- we all found our pumpkins and were heading back to pay for our pumpkins
