The Great Pumpkin

The pumpkin patch opened up today for the season. And, it is our yearly tradition to head right out and find the best one before the patch is picked clear. I think the kids looked at every pumpkin, trying to decide which one they were going to get. The whole idea of a huge garden is foreign to them. We went into the apple orchard which was pretty well picked. Keira and Devin were determined to pick apples, even if it was just one. Keira had just finished Apple Science Week at school. So, the whole time she is telling me how seeds grow up into trees. In the end, we wall got a big pumpkin and the kids each picked a teeny tiny apple. But, obviously, size doesn't matter because they thought that picking their apple was the greatest thing on Earth!
