Pumpkin Patch (October 27, 2007)

This year while the men were gone elk hunting Grandma Shadduck spent the afternoon with us that included a trip to the pumpkin patch. The day was sunny but very blustery thanks to those powerful east winds we get out here in east county. Caitlyn hitched a ride in the wagon with Grandma.
Once we made our way into the thick of the patch Caitlyn got lost in her own world of pumpkin picking. She was also mesmerized by the hay stack as if it had a magnetic force pulling her to it.

She was able to fight the trance to finally pick out the perfect pumpkin. She would not let Grandma or I help her carry the pumpkin. As strong as she is she had no trouble picking up and carrying her choice to the wagon. And I knew she had picked some good sturdy pumpkins because they managed to survive the trip they took from being thrown into the wagon.
It was another fun time with new memories of the pumpkin patch.
