Pumpkins

Last Monday for Family Home Evening Alan and I decided to take the kids to a pumpkin patch and pick out pumpkins. Reagan remembered doing this last year and was REALLY excited to go! We weren't the only family who had this idea so there were a few other people there too. It had rained all weekend so the ground was a little muddy, but not too bad. At this pumpkin patch you take a wheel barrel to help carry your pumpkins. Camden wished that he could push the wheel barrel. We tried to get a good picture of him with a pumpkin but he kept picking them up and throwing them... go figure! We found a cute little one for Tahlia and she really liked looking at it and touching it. Kairi loved them too, but quickly chose her favorite and put it in the wheel barrel. Then there was Reagan... she had to walk around the whole patch 2 times! She would examine pumpkins and always find something wrong with them. Finally, I told her to pick because we were ready to go. The owners of the patch have several old trackers that kids can climb on... so we let our kids get on and take some pictures. Reagan and Kairi then wanted to get in a trailer full of pumpkins to take some pictures. As we loaded into the van and started to drive away we heard a thud. Alan had hit an orange parking cone! A lady ran to our van to get it out from underneath. I was a little embarrassed but it didn't seem to faze Alan. I just teased him a lot! Good family memories.
