This past weekend we finally got out to the pumpkin patch. The weather has been so gray and rainy here that tromping around outside hasn't been too appealing. But Sunday was beautiful and sunny so we headed over to our favorite pumpkin patch.
Mainly it ended up being a lesson in the futility of taking lovely pictures when you have three wiggly little girls. I love pumpkin pictures for some reason, one of my favorites of the cheesy seasonal pics, but man, a good one was hard to come by this year.

Luckily we were much more successful in picking out pumpkins, both edible and decorative, and just generally having a jolly good time outside in the sunshine. And THAT is what is important anyway! That and finding an edible pumpkin to cook up for pumpkin puree!
