Pumpkin Weekend

This weekend was our annual Lone Pine Pumpkin Patch weekend with Auntie Jenn (which took these wonderful pictures). We had pizza with Poppi, then went to the farm where Maysen played in the playground there. Nate stood in line for the horse-drawn hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. We let Maysen pick out Griffin's pumpkin, his pumpkin, and Auntie's pumpkin, which he did a great job!

We had a great time carving pumpkins. We laughed, drank apple cider, and listened to cheesy "Ghosts and Goblins" CD with howling wolves and cackling witches. We had a great time and I hope Maysen carries with him these fun memories. Jenn stated in her blog last week about fun fading as age approaches. I hope you saw this weekend, Jenn, that it doesn't have to be like that. Didn't this take you back, perhaps for a minute, to when we used to do this at home when we were 8yrs old? I have these moments every day ...
