Pumpkin Patch 2007

Livia, not certain about the dancing monsters behind mom's back

It's that time again... Time for another visit to one of the local farms with harvest festivities. This year I learned of the term "agri-tainment" (which our newspaper wrote as "agri-taintment" but surely that can't be right!) and agri-taining it certainly was. The entry prices went up, there were no more free pumpkins from the fields, and the bounce houses were a dollar extra--yet, it was all for the support of a local business so I didn't mind. Plus, the kids had SO MUCH FUN running around the farm and going on the hayrack ride. It was well-worth the few extra bucks I spent.

I should also note that I plan to attempt Jeannette's delicious from-scratch pumpkin pie again this year. Last year's pumpkin became decoration, so hopefully I'll follow through in '07. Stay tuned.
