In Search of The Great Pumpkin

Yesterday, as planned, we hit the pumpkin patch to pick this year's sacrifice to the Jack-o-Lantern gods. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day for the excursion nor could we have hoped to have found pumpkins more perfect than the four we chose.

We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon together and, as often happens, I was reminded how grateful I am to have the opportunities that I do to create traditions for my kids. I hope, one day, they are fortunate enough to have a chance to do these things with their own children and I really hope that their children are kind enough to indulge them without too much eye rolling and deep sighing.
