Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Today, we loaded Luce into her new jogging stroller and walked to the pumpkin patch in downtown Simpsonville. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed the hints of color just beginning to tint the leaves. Lucy had great fun on the way, happily singing and pointing to the birds and even a passing jet. She had even more fun at the pumpkin patch. She laughed heartily at the mini-pumpkins and picked out her first one, a perfectly round miniature orange sphere with a long stalk. Of course we stopped for a photo op at the haystalks before trying to find a bigger pumpkin for carving. Luce had fun climbing on the larger pumpkins and rearranging the smaller ones. By the time we left, we had accumulated one mini pumpkin, a larger pumpkin, and a super fun, mini warty gourd. It was an awesome afternoon, and we can't wait to carve and paint our pumpkins this week. Pictures soon to come!
