Zoey and Kate at the Pumpkin Patch

It is our family tradition to take the kids to the pumpkin patch to choose a pumpkin. Since we recently moved to Massachusetts, we had to find a new 'patch.' We were happy to discover that they have pumpkin farms in New England, as well as corn and apples. What we were not expecting to find was a blueberry patch! In September! The blueberries in Michigan are always done by mid-August. We continue to find wild blueberries in our yard, but I thought maybe they were a fluke. Apparently not. Cool!












The kids begged to pick some blueberries, which were absurdly expensive, so we let them pick a few. Jake was shoveling them into his mouth as fast as he could, and had a hard time understanding that he could NOT steal blueberries. He picks them in our yard, so the concept of paying to pick was lost on him.





















"You open Your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing."

Psalm 145:19









What is this strange American tradition of riding in a wooden wagon that is pulled by a tractor? Whatever it is, we think it's F.U.N!














Not sure what everyone was staring at--and although they don't look like they are having fun, I assure you they were!













"I'm loving the idea of getting a pumpkin. Please don't make me share!"

Our guess is that the culprit is none other than....
