The girls really loved the pumpkin patch near our house last year and so we had been planning on going again this year. Madolyn got to go with her Kindergarten class for a field trip and so she had one small pumpkin. We were planning on getting a couple bigger ones to go with it. By the time we had a chance to go it was probably the coldest day of fall so far. But we went anyway, cold wind and all. The kids still loved it and ran around petting the animals, going down the slide, and running through the hay and corn mazes. By the time we finished all that we were frozen and so we didn't venture out to the pumpkin field and decided we would just run to the store and grab some pumpkins there along with some doughnuts. We didn't have luck at our first store. There were only a few half rotted pumpkins left in the bins so we headed to another store where I had seen some earlier in the day and they were just about sold out of pumpkins too. They happened to have a couple of warty non-rotting pumpkins left in the bin so that's what we came home with. The girls didn't care, they loved them anyway. Home we went where we warmed up with hot chocolate and doughnuts.
