Last weekend we headed to Baugher's Orchard to pick out our pumpkins and have some fun! We started out by having lunch there and letting the kids play on the playground. It was such a beautiful Fall day. After that we headed over to get in line for the tractor to take us out to the pumpkin patch. It was Caroline's first time on the hay ride so she was very excited!
We headed out to the pumpkin patch in search of the perfect pumpkins! Madison and Caroline got to pick their own and then John and I eached picked one. Madison found a little pumpkin and showed it to Caroline. Caroline thought that that was the best pumpkin that she had seen so far. She named it "baby pumpkin". We were heading back to get in line for our ride back to the market when Madison said to Caroline, "Caroline don't you love that little pumpkin Sissy picked out for you?" At that moment Caroline threw the pumpkin on the ground and said that she did not want that one. We kept asking her why and she just kept saying that she wanted a different one. She realized that Madison had picked it and that she did not, and she was not having that! I think that she didn't want to hurt Madison's feelings so she never came out and said that exactly, but we are assuming that was the problem. John took her back out to look for "her" pumpkin.
Once we were back at the market the girls enjoyed playing on the moon bounce, painting pottery, pony rides, and having a snack of apple cider, funnel cake, and kettle corn. Of course you can't leave without stocking up on goodies from the market! What a wonderful day!!
We closed out the day by getting the girls bathed, eating dinner and then all having popcorn and M&M's while watching The Spiderwick Chronincles. It was the perfect end to the perfect Fall day!
