On our fifth wedding anniversary we went to the pumpkin patch with our little pumpkins. It was a lot of fun hanging out with friends and picking out pumpkins for the kid's first Halloween. Sights and flavors of the day: yummy barbeque roasted corn slathered with melted butter, fresh sweet and salty kettle popped popcorn, succulent pomegranites, squash in all shapes and sizes, and a field of pumpkins(*) in all the hues of orange you can imagine.
Later in the evening we rented a movie and snuggled up while listening to the rain. Sweet rain, it has been too long indeed!
It was such a wonderful day, a refreshing change after the hard week we had. Kellen is most likely going through a growth spurt that has made his disposition less than cheery. It's hard being small!
Here's a few more pictures from our pumpkin hunt:

*While technically pumpkins such as Cucurbita pepo are members of the squash family (Cucurbitaceae), I chose to take some poetic license here. = )
