The Great Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Kaylee and I met up with a bunch of other kids and Mommies from the MOMS Club and headed to a local farm. There Kaylee met a sheep.
Then, she met a goat. She also met a pony and a couple of cows who are not pictured...
And then we all headed out to the pumpkin patch, to see if we could find some pumpkins.
Kaylee looked around for a while and rounded up several good choices.
"What am I supposed to do now Mommy?"
I told her we could only take 1 from the pumpkin patch.
So she narrowed her choices down to the 2 best ones...at least in her opinion.
When it was time to go, she made her choice.
So we took our newly acquired pumpkin and hopped on the hay-strewn flatbed being pulled by the tractor back to the farm-stand.
Kaylee seems non-plussed at best with her accommodations...
Once we got back to the farm stand I told her we should pick out a big pumpkin too, to make into a jack-o-lantern.
"What the heck is jack-o-lantern?"
"Well," I tell her. "It's a big pumpkin with a face carved into it, that glows when you put a candle inside."
Apparently, my explanation was weak.
Still, she tested out several larger pumpkins and then made her selection.
With our pumpkins safely in the car, I popped the munchkin on top of a haystack for one last picture before we headed home.
All in all, we had lots of fun with our friends, the animals and getting to buy a couple of pumpkins! What a great day.
