Pumpkin Patch

Saturday afternoon following nap we headed out to Batesville where a neat family run pumpkin patch is located. The kids were so excited to ride the tractor out to the field and to be able to pick out their own pumpkins. When we finally arrived the pumpkin patch didn't look like we remembered it from last year. There was hardly anyone there, there wasn't any ride or jump tents set up. We began to wonder if maybe the person who ran it had passed away or something. Jason went up to ask the woman taking the money if there was a tractor to ride this year. He was informed that her father was away for the day but would be back on Sunday and they would then be taking the tractor out to the field. She continued on to say that we could drive out to the field. So we piled back into the Saab and took off toward the pumpkin patch. As soon as the car stopped and kids were unbuckled they took off running to find their perfect pumpkins. Priss wanted the largest one she could find...she was finally told she could have any pumpkin as long as she could carry it. Swee couldn't make up his mind. He would choose one then would find another he wanted instead. Finally we just picked up one that he had chosen and allowed him to just pick out others he liked.
