Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins!

All week leading up to going to the pumpkin patch Josie wanted to touch every pumpkin she saw. There were pumpkins on other people's porches, glass and ceramic pumpkins on shelves at stores and restaurants (these she was particularly interested in touching) delicate, cut-out pumpkins hanging like crepe paper. Every time she would reach out to touch them I would tell her that she couldn't touch these pumpkins but that on Sunday she would be able to touch all the pumpkins she wanted when we went to the pumpkin patch.
Needless to say, her favorite saying last week was "we go to pumpkin patch on Sunday" and "on Sunday I can touch 'em". And touch them she did. At times she even hugged them.











We met up with some friends from Shorecrest and their families. The kids went on slides and through big tire tunnels and then we all rode out on a tractor to the pumpkin fields and picked out our first family pumpkin. Overall, a successful trip to the pumpkin patch.
