Who’s Your Pun’kin??

Today was Pun’kin Patch Day with my little Pun’kin!  Mom and I hadn’t seen each other since before she went to Romania, so we HAD to get together, and what better place than the Pun’kin Patch!  It was about as great a fall day as you’re likely to get here in Texas, dry, sunny, cloudless with a hint of a cool breeze every now and again, temp’s starting off in the low 60’s, warming to the 80’s… You get the idea.  We headed out to Celina, TX for the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm’s annual Pumpkin Patch (www.bigorangepumpkinfarm.org).  We learned about this when Trey was in playgroup, and have gone every year since then. 

The pumpkins were slim pickin’ this year – don’t know if that was because it was after a weekend, or early in the season, or due to the drought, but we still managed to find 4 perfect pumpkins.  We met up with Angie and Michael Jon there, and had a great time together.  Crisana and Michael Jon enjoyed walking through the pumpkin patch, feeding cows and goats and sheep, playing cowboys, going on a hayride (and once again finding Farmer Rick rolled up in a bale of hay – when will the poor guy ever learn??), and having a picnic lunch.  We had so much fun, got dirty, laughed, talked, took lots of pictures, and just enjoyed a carefree day of togetherness.

4 perfect pumpkins at the pumpkin patch – $18.

a perfect day with the pun’kins in my life – priceless.
