We made our first trip to the local pumpkin patch last weekend–Ava’s best friend Ginger celebrated her fifth birthday with a great little party. Ava and Ginger were thick as thieves all day, making their way through a hay bale maze, out to the pumpkin patch and on the playground.
Olivia, though, kept me company.
Olivia loved the chickens and ducks, and when she saw the cows in the distance, she went crazy, calling out, “Hi, cows; hi cows!”
As she got closer to the pen, though, she realized they were much bigger than she thought.
Her chipper greetings turned to wails of “NO MORE COWS!”
Fortunately, she was distracted by the hay pyramid—its height afforded her a bit of safety.
The weather the past two weeks has been absolutely gorgeous, and my front porch is decorated with an assortment of pumpkins. It’s the start of my favorite season, and I couldn’t be happier.
