There are very few things (besides friends and family members, of course) that we miss about living in Indiana, but our annual visit to Garwood's Orchard for fresh-picked apples and cider and a day at the pumpkin patch in Westville rank high on that list. As near as we can tell, there are no REAL pick-your-own-pumpkin patches around here. We briefly considered driving to Alabama where there's supposed to be a great farm, but we really couldn't justify a 2+ hour trip - even for pumpkins and apple cider.
Thankfully, our local WalMart was having a sale! The girls seemed pretty satisfied with the produce department's pumpkin patch, so they each picked one out and we were set to have a great Fall weekend.

This was Sydney's first year to completely carve the pumpkin on her own. She made her own design (a bookworm - so appropriate!) and all Dad did was help her carve out the words. Delaney and Sadey each did quite a bit of work on their pumpkins too and they were all very proud of the results.
We thought the pumpkins needed some company on the front porch, so today the girls helped Dad build their very first scarecrow. We have no leaves in the yard, but the pine needles were a great substitution.

I don't have it set for subscriptions, but I'll see if I can do it...just for you, Jeri :)
The scarecrow's head is a sad, nearly-deflated, rubber ball. It reminds us of Beetlejuice after he sat next to the head shrinker.
Cute- the girls and the pumpkins!
