A passion for pumpkins

Like her mother, Lilia seems to have a strong affinity towards fall and all things pumpkin. I’ve set some smaller gourds on the hearth of our fireplace and she picks them up and brings them to us carefully saying “gourd” and describing how bumpy they are.

Last weekend we met GG and G-Lin at the coolest pumpkin patch! I think we could go there every year for the next 5 years and never do the same thing twice. They have a train ride, corn maze, zip lines, pony rides, bouncy houses, pillow jumping, and a mile of pumpkins to boot. It’s a little piece of pumpkin heaven. This year Lilia was content to bounce in the giant pumpkin, play in the toddler area and run through the field of pumpkins but I have a feeling we’ll check out the corn maze next year.

The same farm is doing a winter festival too, so it doesn’t even look like we’ll have to wait ’til next year for a train ride!
