this weekend our little family (and that includes our best buds. ie, extended family) loaded up with snacks and headed on out to the pumpkin patch. lemme just tell you about the wonder that was that afternoon. we got to hang with the likes of horses, cows, a rooster, some chickens, what may or may not have been quail, and one rather aloof donkey named cracker jack. it was great. it was free. and somehow none of us left with a pumpkin. too early in the season if ya ask me...
