Grandma and Grandpa Ferguson came to visit on Saturday. After soccer games, college football (must see TV), and a mandatory stop at Cracker Barrel for a late lunch, we FINALLY headed to the pumpkin patch. We squinted our eyes to pretend all the leaves were in their full red, orange, and yellow glory. We shivered a bit to pretend the air was crisp and not really eighty degrees. (though we are not complaining....we love Willaimsburg's indian summers!) We did not have to fake the anticipation we shared as we all piled out of the car and each headed off in different directions, on the hunt to claim the perfect pumpkin.
Who knew there were so many different varieties to choose from? Aladdin, Howden Biggie, Pie, Magic Lanterns, Prizewinners, Jaredale, Lumina White, One Too Many, Peanut, Full Moon, Cinderellas, Fairytale, Mammoth Golds, Munchkin, Little Ironsides, and Long Island Cheese. Wow!!!!
