Today, we went to the pumpkin patch. This hasn’t been an annual tradition for us, but we’ve been to a variety of patches over the years. A few of the trips were before digital cameras, so the photos are not too easy to find. Here are some memories from a few years ago…

For some reason, when Nicholas was one I ended up taking the two little ones to the pumpkin patch on my own–not sure what Mike and Chris were doing.

Then we had another gap, until Kieran went to the pumpkin patch as a field trip in first grade.

Nicholas hadn’t been to a pumpkin patch since he was a little tyke, so when our friends asked if we’d like to accompany them, we were all over it.
