We almost didn’t make it to the pumpkin patch. Before we knew it, it was the Wednesday before Halloween. So we went to the Berry Patch. We took a hay ride to the pumpkin patch. I think Abbie was overwhelmed by all the pumpkins to choose from.

There was a maze that Abbie and Robert made their way through, and some pigs, sheep and a couple of cows.  A couple of years ago they had turkeys, the guy there said when it rains they are not smart enough to get out of the rain. So they lost a lot. Grandma says, “They look up at the rain and drowned themselves.”  I am not really sure about that.

We had four pumpkins this year.  The first one on the left Abbie painted when we went camping in September.  The second one Abbie cut out all by herself.  The mouth and nose are meant to be together. It makes it “Scary” Abbie says. The third is mine, I found a kit last year.  It was pretty easy and I like the way it glows. And last but not least is Robert’s.  I suggested to have the letters B-S-U, but Robert wanted to do much much more.  His site has more pictures, robert.whitakerfamily.org. Not many trick-or-treaters this year. }: The weather was the best it has been as long as I can remember.
