Pumpkin Picking

Fall is in the air and that means Halloween is right around the corner. We decided to get in the the fall spirit with a trip to Burke Nursery Pumpkin Patch this past weekend. After baking most of the summer, the cooler temps are a welcome change. I love these fall festival type events. So much to do and so nice to be outside. The place was crawling with little kids and big ones too. We tried out every slide (more times than I could count), played on the pirate ship, moon bounce, mouse maze, mountain climbing, truck riding, petting zoo, barrel rolling, whew! Finn picked out pumpkins for each of us. It was a tough call . . . there were so many to choose from and he spent a good 15 minutes making his selection and then changing his mind (which he comes by honestly!)
