The Great Pumpkin Hunt

Something that has become a tradition for our family is our Annual Pumpkin Hunt.  We don't go to a pumpkin patch...we don't go buy pumpkins from a little farmstand...we go out to our garden and pick the pumpkins that our kids planted from seed, place them throughout the yard...and in the evening the kids have a pumpkin hunt and gather theml all in.
 
This year, Lainah was my big helper.  She had a lot of fun "hiding" the pumpkins in funny places.  She could hardly wait until everyone got home so that the hunt could begin.
 
Poor Addy waited as long as she could, but Andy worked on a patient late into the evening and she fell asleep just before he got home...so Addyson slept through the hunt this year.  Our pumpkins weren't as big this year, but there were a lot of them!  

The kids each chose their favorite and marked it so they could carve it later in the week. 
I love fall.  It is one of my favorite times of year.  Pumpkin hunts, and harvest time, and corn mazes, and wagon rides, and apple cider.  What a great time of year to spend with my family!
