Our Saturday family adventure included an outing to the Peterson Pumpkin Patch. Emily has been anticipating going to the pumpkin patch for some time as we pass it each time we go to see the house. We have also been reading many books about pumpkins which has increased the anticipation. In one of the books we have been reading, The Littlest Pumpkin, a young girl picks a pumpkin without a stem so that she can put a witch's hat on top. Emily has since insisted on getting a pumpkin without a stem so that she too can put a witch's hat on top. I am always impressed by the connections she makes between everyday life and books.
At the Peterson Farm the girls loved searching for the perfect pumpkin. Emily searched for one without a stem and Lily placed many little pumpkins in the wheelbarrow. In the end with got a tall pumpkin, round pumpkin without a stem, and four little pumpkins. The girls and Nelson enjoyed riding the hay pyramid slide. Whoosh! It was fast! Logan and I loved watching the girls giggle and wonder about. Although we may not have found the perfect pumpkin, I had the perfect company of my little family!!!
