FALL IS MY FAVORITE SEASON, AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR FAMILY TRIP TO THE PUMPKIN PATCH SINCE SEPTEMBER. (WE HAD TO REDEEM OURSELVES FROM LAST YEAR'S TRIP WHERE OUR CAMERA BATTERY DIED AFTER TWO SHOTS, AND WE FORGOT TO BRING CASH, LEAVING US WITH ABOUT 4 TOKEN APPLES.) ORIGINALLY, I TOLD JEFF I DIDN'T WANT TO GO WHILE THE TEMPERATURES WERE STILL SO WARM, AS IT WOULDN'T FEEL LIKE A "FALL ACTIVITY." WE MAY HAVE WAITED TOO LONG! THE BRISK TEMPERATURES YESTERDAY MADE FOR A SHORT BUT SWEET TRIP. YOU WILL NOTICE THE CHILL PRACTICALLY FROZE OUT OUR SWEET GIRL'S SMILE. BUT, WE DID MANAGE TO PICK OUT FOUR PUMPKINS, TWO BAGS OF APPLES, CARMEL DIP, AND TAKE A FEW QUICK PICS! I JUST LOVE THE SIGHT OF OUR FOUR PUMPKINS ON THE PORCH.
"YOU WANT ME TO SAY CHEESE? ALL I CAN SAY IS BRRRRRRR..."
WE KEPT ASKING CHARLOTTE TO PICK UP A PUMPKIN. AND, SHE KEPT LOOKING AT THE MUD ON THE PUMPKINS AND TELLING US, "DIRTY." PERHAPS, WE DO HAVE A LITTLE PRINCESS UNDERNEATH ALL OF THAT SPUNKY EXTERIOR?
CLEARLY THE COLD HAS GOTTEN TO HER AT THIS POINT.
STILL NOT THRILLED...
APPARENTLY, ALL SHE NEED TO CRACK A SMILE WAS THIS STRANGE LITTLE FIGURINE WITH A HUGE NOSE!
I CAN'T WAIT TO PACK UP BOTH KIDS NEXT YEAR FOR OUR ANNUAL PUMPKIN OUTING! HERE'S HOPING FOR 60 DEGREE WEATHER.
