The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

I love this time of year and the annual trip to the pumpkin patch. We will be still make the trip even after our kids are grown. There is nothing like the smell in the air, the crunch of dried vines and leaves, the feel of straw as you pump along on the tractor driven wagon ride. We came out of the afternoon with four of the most perfect pumpkins (according to the kids). Caleb claims it is his best ever! All four had different criteria for just the right pumpkin and it was fun to see them all make the choice and for one of us the choice kept going even after we were on the wagon ride back. There always seemed to be a better one out there. Stay tuned to see the creating of the jack -0-lanterns!
