The Late Pumpkin Patch Trip

The mommies (and daddies) of our playgroup have been planning a trip to the orchard/pumpkin patch for a month now. Unfortunately, each week it kept getting postponed due to the weather.

So we finally made it, and we had a blast. No lines. No crowds. Perfect!

Noel loved the hayride, and both Willow and Noel insisted upon sitting with each other. They are absolutely adorable together. They share some of the same personality traits...the ones that will eventually get them in trouble if they continue their friendship. ;-) They are both fearless explorers, always looking for their next adventure. And they are so hardy - scratches, bumps, bruises, no problem! They get up and keep going!

Our trip to the pumpkin patch might have turned out better than it would have had we gone "on time". We received two free pumpkins with our hayrides (although I have to say this...the hayrides were quite hay-less). Sure, why do we need pumpkins now? But autumn is still in full effect, with vivid and changing colors on each tree.

I'm undecided what I will do with them...I've considered carving a cornucopia into one of them for Thanksgiving. Or using it as a decorative outdoor planter for a few weeks. Does anyone have any other suggestions for our post-Halloween pumpkins?
