The first pumpkin patch of the season

Canon's daycare is housed in a church, which hosts a "pumpkin patch" every year. They have pumpkins brought in to the front of the church grounds and sell them to raise money for different areas of ministry. I, of course, love the photo-op aspect of it all, so we stopped by after picking him up from school last week.

 

He informed me that "Friday isn't pumpkin patch day!  Only Tuesday is pumpkin patch day!" because his class was going to take a field trip the following week to visit the pumpkins.  It's a good thing I was able to convince him we could go twice - he ended up missing his field trip due to fever.  :(

That day, however, he had fun racing through the pumpkin lanes and rearranging everything.

Craig and I just enjoyed watching him play, but we did manage to get a couple of photos with him.

Don't you just love fall?

If only the temperature had gotten the memo and dropped it like it was hot. Because it is.


P.S. - If you are noticing a decline in my photo quality, have no fear.  I am too. My camera is in pitiful shape and I fear that I may need to replace it in the near future, but am not sure how that is going to happen.  Say a prayer that it holds on for a while {read: at least 3 years} longer.  Thanks.
