Pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere

The end of October is rapidly approaching.  We've had a packed month so far with really no end in sight, but today we had some free time this morning and made a date with the local pumpkin festival.  This was Ben's first trip to the farm to pick out a pumpkin!

Ben loved watching the tractors moving around.  

He waved and waved, and made his little truck sound as they drove up and pulled away.

We left the pumpkin festival with two nice pumpkins and a funny shaped gourd.  After scouring the entire field for just the right pumpkin for Natalie, we had a picnic lunch of fried chicken, green beans, and fries.  It was a beautiful fall day, and so nice to spend a few hours all together!
