Pumpkins!

What is it about pumpkin patches?? We woke up to a HORRIBLE forecast which promised rain-a-plenty and this momma didn't have it in her to tell her kids they weren't going! They were SO excited and had been talking about it for days. A pumpkin patch. Walking around with packed lunches, umbrellas, camera, purse and all the other stuff required for a day out IN THE RAIN just didn't sound fun to me at 8 o'clock this morning but neither did sitting across from two long faced kiddos teaching them Saxon Math and phonograms. Determined, we all found our boots and umbrellas and made our way to Mainstay Farms south of town to meet good friends who were willing to risk the rain too.
