Pass the Pumpkin

We went to a Pumpkin Patch today. It is that time of year in the midwest: Apple Cider Donuts, Taffy Apples, Apple Picking, Pumpkins, Leaves Falling, and Pumpkins. The Patch we visited had pony rides and camel rides. It was more than anyone would expect at this time of year. The kids enjoyed themselves.

For me, it was about creating memories. I wish my phone had enough memory on it. I would have taken more pictures. The kids got to feed Llamas. How often does one get to feed Llamas? They rode the camel and horses.

The picture is in my mind now. Hopefully, the kids won’t need the photographs to retain the wonderful fall memories we have made. To me making memories is important. I decided to take the time for my kids on Sundays. There are times when I am not able to be as engaged with my children due to work or other obligations.

We did not get any pumpkins from the patch. We decided to pass on the pumpkins and focus on each other.
