A patch of pumpkins

My girls have become obsessed with pumpkins this fall. One day, we were at Jenny's house and she was reading the girls stories. Because she's a teacher (and because she has an incredible love for children's books), she's got all sorts of children's books for the different holidays/seasons. After a few Halloween books, my girls were hooked and ever since then, they talk about pumpkins constantly. We've had a decent sized one as well as two tiny ones on our porch for weeks, but we decided to take them to an actual pumpkin patch. It was really neat, complete with a mountain of hay, a small petting zoo (horses and goats) a roaming cat, tractors a store with fresh produce and potential hay rides (although we went at the wrong time). It was great!

If this picture has sound, you'd be hearing the squeals and "pum-kin! pum-kin!"

The girls thought we should take them all home...

And my attempt. Josh was more successful. 

We ended up leaving with 3 new pumpkins, one honeydew, 6 apples and two grumpy babies.
