Columbus Day Pumpkins: The Tradition Lives On

As usual on Columbus Day weekend, we kept up with tradition and got pumpkins. 

P&F weren't too sure about what to do when I told them we were going to a "pumpkin patch" leading to two funnies from them. First, when we got to the farmstand, there were pumpkins on the ground decorating the pathways. Fletch kept picking them up and putting them in the big pile of pumpkins. When I asked what he was doing, he said he was building a pumpkin patch. He didn't understand that you get pumpkins from a pumpkin patch, not put pumpkins in the patch. Also, when we arrived, Piper asked me, “Where is the pumpkin patch?” I said, “Right here, see all the pumpkins.” She said, “How will I put the pumpkins over my eye?” She thought we were going to get a “pumpkin patch” to put over her eye like the pirate patch from their pirate costume.

We had a ton of fun getting our pumpkins, and I'm so happy that this tradition lives on.
