The sun was out on Sunday, it was unexpected and I wanted to take advantage. This is why Avery and I headed to Simmon's Farm to do the hay ride to pick out another pumpkin in the patch. To my surprise the patch is one of mud. I mean, sure, we've had a lot of rain, but I wasn't expecting that. You see so many people posting pictures of their kids picking put pumpkins and it looks lush and pleasant. This was hard. I managed to stay upright, but still got a nice coating of mud. Avery's bum went down once when I tried to stand her up for a photo. She promptly wanted nothing more to do with moving on her own. Do you know how hard it is to carry my pumpkin AND a pumpkin across a muddy angled ground?
I'm glad we went, but I won't lie, it wasn't the fun I hoped for and there aren't great pictures of the event.
