Pumpkin Patch

I can now say with conviction that I have been to a pumpkin patch. And so has Eliza. It was really quite fun! Except for the mud, rain, and rotting pumpkins--it was the barren wasteland of pumpkin patches. But that's what you get when you go at the end of the season...apparently. We picked out a charming pumpkin that will be carved promptly...we only have so much time left before Halloween!

Oh, Eliza. So fickle. I thought she'd love walking around the patch and enjoying freedom from her car seat, but she was a little concerned about the mud and vines and maybe the oozing, deteriorating pumpkins. So I held her and made our selection in record time!
