Well, October is definitely our favorite time of the year. All things pumpkin - that's what makes the world go round! 1st we went to a local farm for apple cider and a 3 acre corn maze. The girls found all 7 pumpkins that were hidden along the way. Then we just enjoyed the 80 degree Indian summer, picked out a couple of pumpkins and relaxed in the giant swing. Of course, reality set in , the weather turned cold and Peyton had a field trip to another farm. We wandered the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect gourd, enjoyed a hay ride and made friends with the baby cows! Peyton was enamored with the calves, or maybe it was the other way around!?!? Either way, it was love at 1st sight.
Of course, no trip to a pumpkin patch is complete with out the carving ritual. We hunkered down, armed with all our special tools and made three masterpieces. Peyton chose a ghost design, Kali asked Jimmy to carve a witch - he did a stellar job - and Kali carved her own mini. I was busy roasting pumpkin seeds and they were well worth the wait - yummy!!!
