It is a Sparkman tradition to visit the pumpkin patch each fall and find the perfect pumpkins.
Since carving pumpkins has proven to be a tramautic (and messy) experience, we opt to select pumpkins that are best for making pie.
The girls loved sitting on the pumpkins in the yard before heading inside the barn.
Daddy's little pumpkins
Once inside the barn, the girls enjoyed looking for the perfect pumpkins.
Madison made her choice easily but Lillian was not too certain.
"I got it"
The perfect choices.
Lillian liked the smallest pumpkin, the one without a stem.
Madison went for a slightly larger pumpkin with a long stem to hold onto.
After purchasing our pumpkins and some hot apple cider, we headed outside for a bit of play.
Madison did a great job pumpkin sitting while Lillian went to off to play in the grass by Daddy.
"Peek boo, sisie"
Sisterly love, at its finest!
The old wooden wagons made for a perfect setting for pictures and a bit of play.
Playing around the orchard
The sister balancing act.... coming your way soon.

A final race up the hill and back to the car to head for home.
