Kate was home for fall break and we "had" to choose our pumpkin with her here- even though she will not be around for the carving or Halloween! Oh well. She was "home" for 5 days with a few overnights with friends at other schools. So the pumpkin outing had to be put off until the last day, hours before her departure back to Chapel Hill and minutes before a lunch date with friends. So glad she could squeeze us in! (just kidding) We went to the first "pumpkin patch" and snapped a few photos and began choosing THE pumpkin but then discovered they were not yet open-on a Sunday afternoon at 12:15 pm! So we headed to the next pumpkin patch and repeated the whole thing but in less time. It was too sunny and my subjects were less than cooperative for photos. Quickly chose fun gourds for our harvest themed center piece and few little ones and 2 big ones. We plan to only carve one but Maggie needed one to make a pumpkin man out of (who knows but pictures will follow later). Not the "invisible" pumpkin Harper was lobbying for! So it was a good end to fall break with the WHOLE family!!
